Michel Onfray La Contrehistoire De La Philosophie Audio 16 Full < Browser >

The keyword “Michel Onfray la contrehistoire de la philosophie audio 16 full” is a user’s portal to a specific lecture. Given the numbering system of the complete box sets (often sold as 20- or 24-CD collections), Audio 16 typically falls within Volume 4 or Volume 5 of the series, depending on the edition.

However, the most common reference for "audio 16" points to Volumes 4: "Les Ultras des Lumières" (The Ultras of the Enlightenment). Here is the typical breakdown:

Why did Western philosophy bury figures like Sade, Mandeville, or La Mettrie? Because their conclusions are dangerous to social order. Onfray argues that their exclusion invalidates philosophy’s claim to seek truth. Truth may be monstrous. Audio 16 presents that monster without flinching.


| Work | Relationship to Audio 16 | |------|---------------------------| | “Histoire de la philosophie sans maître” (2002‑2006) | Provides the foundational anti‑canonical approach that is deepened in the Contrehistoire series. | | “La puissance du sensible” (2005) | Explores the sensory dimension of philosophy, a theme that resurfaces in the emphasis on the body in Audio 16. | | “Le crépuscule d’une idole” (2015) | Offers a sharper critique of contemporary neoliberal thought; Audio 16 extends this critique historically. | | “Philosophie du corps” (2022) | Directly complements the body‑centric arguments made in Audio 16, reinforcing the call for a corporeal philosophy. | Let’s reconstruct the likely content of Audio 16

Plato wrote that the body is the tomb of the soul. Christian theology amplified this into a disgust for the flesh. In audio 16, via Diderot, Onfray argues that the brain is an organ like the stomach or genitals. Thought is a secretion of the nervous system. This biological materialism has radical implications for ethics: if thinking is a physical act, then philosophy is a form of medicine, not theology.

Since leaving France Culture, Onfray has re-released the full series DRM-free through his own university’s platform. Lecture 16 is available either as a single download (MP3, 320kbps) or as part of the complete season bundle.

The original 2004-2006 broadcasts are archived on Radio France’s website. However, many are split into two halves (because of radio news breaks).
