By Michel Onfray
Ce livre est né d'une indignation et d'une urgence : l'indignation ? C'est le fait que, trois siècles après le triomphe des « Lumières », et un siècle après los angeles loi de séparation de l'Eglise et de l'Etat, le politique et le religieux soient encore si inextricablement mêlés dans nos sociétés prétendument laïques et démocratiques. L'urgence ? C'est le spectacle du monde comme il va - des évangélistes néo-conservateurs aux fanatiques du Djihad. Partout, detect Michel Onfray, Dieu, jadis chassé par los angeles porte, revient par l. a. fenêtre... D'où cet essai, savant, polémique, conceptuel et sensuel, où le philosophe anti-platonicien qu'est Michel Onfray tente de pointer, de dénoncer, de dépasser, cette « haine des corps » qui, semble-t-il, gît secrètement derrière le retour généralisé du divin, et du « désir de salut », dans nos sociétés. Son livre se compose de quatre events où, après l'exposé-bilan de l'état actuel d'une « régression », se trouvent revisités le monothéisme, le christianisme et l. a. théocratie. L'essentiel, ici, peut ainsi se résumer : à quel prix - humain, amoureux, politique... - nos contemporains paieront-ils leur allégeance au ciel ? Dans ce livre, il est ainsi query de Jésus et des femmes, du désir et de los angeles démocratie, de Saint-Paul et de Nietzsche. L'auteur, en matérialiste conséquent, provoque, stimule, suggère. A l'heure des intégrismes et des laïcités honteuses, ce Traité d'athéologie promet de faire du vacarme...

Demonic Possession and Exorcism: In Early Modern France
This can be a hugely unique research of demon ownership and the ritual of exorcism, either of
which have been rife in early glossy instances, and which reached epidemic proportions in
France.
Catholics on the time believed that the satan was once in all places current, within the upward thrust of the
heretics, within the actions of witches, or even within the our bodies of pious younger ladies. The
rite of exorcism was once meant to heal the possessed and express the ability of the Church—
but it generated as many difficulties because it resolved. Possessed girls persevered frequently
violent exorcisms, exorcists have been suspected of conjuring devils, and ownership itself
came to be visible as a sort of holiness, raising a number of ladies to the prestige of living
saints.
Looking in the direction of the current day, the publication additionally argues that early smooth conflicts
over the satan nonetheless hold an unforeseen strength and importance for Western Christianity.

Example text
In the monotheistic age, God was viewed as the one who causes and does everything, and hence humans were not entitled to make something , let alone a great deal, of themselves. In humanistic epochs, by contrast, man is considered the being respon sible for causing and doing everything - but consequently no longer has the right to make little or nothing of himself. Whether people now make nothing or much of themselves, they commit - according to traditional forms of logic - an inexplicable and unpardonable error.
His mother's death: 'there was a praying inside me, though 1 did not and do not know what it was praying'. Appearances in the Orient, where people are more distinctive: 'a list of my most striking experiences alone would fill entire volumes'. Disappointment at the Holy Sepulchre, where 'the most degenerate riffraff' appeared to have gathered; arrest in Cairo, nicotine poison ing in Vienna, rifle shooting with his feet in St Petersb urg, in the presence of Tsar Alexander III, guest appearance in Managua - 'the city of Leon bore the characte r of decline' ; a comet over Cuba; par ticipation in a film entitled Mann ohne Arme [Man Without Arms] .
This is a difference that does not fit into any time or any ethics. In the monotheistic age, God was viewed as the one who causes and does everything, and hence humans were not entitled to make something , let alone a great deal, of themselves. In humanistic epochs, by contrast, man is considered the being respon sible for causing and doing everything - but consequently no longer has the right to make little or nothing of himself. Whether people now make nothing or much of themselves, they commit - according to traditional forms of logic - an inexplicable and unpardonable error.
