Onfray’s Contre-histoire flips the script. He excavates the philosophers who were marginalized, ignored, or actively suppressed by the academic and religious establishments. His mission is to construct a "hedonistic" genealogy of thought that celebrates the material world, the body, pleasure, and radical liberty.

Onfray treats Freud not as a rigorous scientist, but as a "philosophical autobiographer" who projected his personal neuroses onto a universal theory.
