Filozofların Karnı

by Michel Onfray, Aykut Derman (Translator)

Quand les philosophes pensent, ils oublient, le plus souvent, de penser à leur corps et surtout à ce qu'ils y accumulent lorsqu'ils mangent. Pourtant, entre la pensée et la panse, il existe un réseau complexe d'affinités et d'aveux que la réflexion aurait tort de négliger : Diogène aurait-il été cet adversaire de la civilisation et de ses usages sans son goût pour le poulpe cru ? Le Rousseau du {Contrat social} aurait-il fait l'apologie de la frugalité si ses menus ordinaires ne s'étaient composés que de laitages ? Sartre lui-même, dont les cauchemars sont emplis de crabes, n'a-t-il pas, sa vie durant, payé - dans l'ordre de la théorie - son aversion pour les crustacés ? Dans cet essai résolument nietzschéen, Michel Onfray a donc choisi de redonner une dignité philosophique au cabillaud, au potage à l'orge, au vin, à l'andouillette, au café aromatisé ou à l'eau de Cologne qui sont - de Fourier à Marinetti, et de Kant aux existentialistes - les chemins improbables du gai savoir. Critique de la raison diététique ? Ebauche d'une "diététhique" ? Il s'agira d'abord, dans ce livre, de surprendre l'instant, et l'aliment, à partir duquel le corps rattrape l'esprit et lui dicte sa loi.

About the author

Michel Onfray is a French philosopher. Born to a family of Norman farmers, he graduated with a Ph.D. in philosophy. He taught this subject to senior students at a technical high school in Caen between 1983 and 2002, before establishing what he and his supporters call the Université populaire de Caen, proclaiming its foundation on a free-of-charge basis, and the manifesto written by Onfray in 2004 (La communauté philosophique). However, the title 'Popular University' is misleading, although attractive, as this 'University' provides no services other than the occasional delivery of lectures - there is no register of students, no examination or assessment, and no diplomas. After all, 'ordinary' French University lectures are open to all, free of charge. Nor is the content of the Université populaire de Caen radical in French terms, it is in its way, a throwback to less democratic traditions of learning. Both in his writing and his lecturing, Onfray's approach is hierarchical, and elitist. He prefers to say though that his 'university' is committed to deliver high-level knowledge to the masses, as opposed to the more common approach of vulgarizing philosophic concepts through easy-to-read books such as "Philosophy for Well-being".

Onfray writes obscurely that there is no philosophy without psychoanalysis. Perhaps paradoxically, he proclaims himself as an adamant atheist (something more novel in France than elsewhere - indeed his book, 'Atheist Manifesto', was briefly in the 'bestsellers' list in France) and he considers religion to be indefensible. He instead regards himself as being part of the tradition of individualist anarchism, a tradition that he claims is at work throughout the entire history of philosophy and that he is seeking to revive amidst modern schools of philosophy that he feels are cynical and epicurean. His writings celebrate hedonism, reason and atheism.

He endorsed the French Revolutionary Communist League and its candidate for the French presidency, Olivier Besancenot in the 2002 election, although this is somewhat at odds with the libertarian socialism he advocates in his writings.[citation needed] In 2007, he endorsed José Bové - but eventually voted for Olivier Besancenot - , and conducted an interview with the future French President, who he declared was an 'ideological enemy' Nicolas Sarkozy for Philosophie Magazine.

Onfray himself attributes the birth of a philosophic communities such as the université populaire to the results of the French presidential election, 2002.

Orijinali canlabirsene ve Zimlicious'ta yayınlandı.

Daha ilk sayfasındaki alıntıyla kalbimi çaldı bu kitap:

“‘İnsanlığın selameti’ için o Tanrıbilimci antikalarının hepsinden çok daha önemli bir sorun var ki, beni daha başka türlü ilgilendirir: beslenme sorunu.”
NIETZCHE, Ecce Homo

“Okuru alternatif bir felsefe yolculuğuna çıkarma” hedefiyle yola koyulan Michel Onfray, söz verdiğini yapmayı başarmış Filozofların Karnı kitabında. Felsefeyle ilgili pek çok konuda filozofların beyni odak noktasıyken, Onfray onların midelerini didiklemeyi tercih etmiş ve ortaya hem düşündüren, hem de (itiraf etmeden olmaz) yer yer insanın karnını acıktıran bir kitap çıkmış.

Filozofların Karnı’nın benim için en ilginç bölümü, “Beslenme Üzerine Yaşamöyküsel Deneme” başlıklı, Onfray’ın bu kitabı yazmaya nasıl karar verdiğini anlatan bölümdü. Hayat şartlarına bağlı olarak insanın ne yediğinin nasıl değiştiğini, bu yediklerimizin ruh halimizin yanı sıra paramızdan vücut sağlığımıza kadar pek çok şeyi nasıl etkilediğini gözler önüne seren bir bölüm bu. Bası insanların yemeğe, iyi yemeklere zaafı olduğunu, genellikle “lezzetli” diyebileceğimiz tüm yemeklerin de aslında bizim için ne kadar zararlı olabileceğini gösteren bir bölüm. Yine bile Onfray, kalp krizi geçirdikten sonra ona bir diyet yazan doktora “ölmeden önce son sözünü söyler gibi, kahramanca bir çıkışla, hayatını margarinle idare etmektense, tereyağı yiyerek ölmeyi yeğlediğini açıklayan” bir adam. E böyle bir adamı da sevmemek imkansız!

“Ölümüm yemekten olacak” ve “tatlıya sıra gelmeden ölürsem hepinize hortlarım” gibi cümleleri çok kullanan bir insan olaraktan şıp diye, hem yalanarak, hem de öğrenerek okuduğum bir kitap oldu Filozofların Karnı.

[Hande Kılıçoğlu · Rating 4 out of 5]

" Hiçbir diyetetik masum olmadığı gibi , derinlemesine devrimci de değildir; her yemek ta öteden beri her zaman hazırlanmış, yenmiş, sindirilmiştir: ağız tarihin oluştuğu yerdir, tarih ise sürekli yinelenen başlangıçtan başka bir şey değildir. Bu anlamda diyetetik, sonsuz geri dönüşü açığa vuran öğedir."
Çeşitli düşünce insanlarının beslenme ve yemek üzerine fantastik düşüncelerinin ve inançlarının anlatıldığı bir kitap. Okurken oldukça güzel zaman geçirdim diyebilirim.

"Η συγχώνευση μιας επιστήμης της πράξης και της τέχνης της ζωής προσκαλεί σε αυτή τη διαιτηθική που αναζητά τον ευδαιμονισμό. Έχοντας ως προορισμό την αποσύνθεση και τη διάσπαση σε πολλαπλά θραύσματα, η σάρκα έχει σκοπό μόνο πριν τον θάνατο. Η κακή χρήση του σώματος είναι ένα λάθος που εμπεριέχει τιμωρία. Κανείς δεν μπορεί να κερδίσει το χαμένο χρόνο".
Εγώ το απόλαυσα

[René Venegas · Rating 5 out of 5]

Awesome book! as always Michel Onfray is concise and somewhat easier to read in this book, an incredible history of philosphy through food choices! can't say more because I'm not a good reviewer, but this is an incredible book for anyone who loves the best and most satisfying pleasures in life (aside from sex) food and philosophy!

[Esther · Rating 3 out of 5]

p122: The flesh has no destiny but to exist prior to death, since afterwards it is destined to rot and to burst into myriad pieces. The misuse of the body is a failing that contains its own sanctions - lost time cannot be regained.

[R. · Rating 3 out of 5]

Interesante y entretenido. Es una óptima lectura para los amantes de la gastronomía y la filosofía.

[Shiva'S Cousin · Rating 3 out of 5]

Διασκεδαστικό βιβλίο που συνδυάζει τη φιλοσοφία του Διογένη, του Καντ, του Ρουσσώ, του Σαρτρ, του Φουριέ, του Νίτσε και άλλων με τις γαστρονομικές τους προτιμήσεις. Ο Ονφρέ που έπαθε έμφραγμα στα 28 λίγο πριν την απόλαυση σπάλας αρνιού με πλευρώτους και σέλινο παραμένει αμετανόητος ηδονιστής και αναζητά τη χαρούμενη γνώση της διατροφής. Από τον πρωτόγονο κανιβαλισμό του Διογένη μέχρι τα πιάτα υπερπαραγωγές του φουτουριστή Μαρινέττι το βιβλίο αυτό αποδεικνύει ότι εκτός από τον έρωτα και η φιλοσοφία περνάει από το στομάχι. Όταν διάφοροι πνευματικοί άνθρωποι αποκόπτουν τη σκέψη από το σώμα ένα βιβλίο που έρχεται να κάνει ξανά τη φιλοσοφία ενσώματη είναι πάντα καλοδεχούμενο!

[Angelo Montinovo · Rating 3 out of 5]

Argomenti alquanto complessi, riferimenti ad un modo di intendere la vita e l’esperienza dell’alimentazione non facili da cogliere appieno. L’Autore a suo modo da un grosso contributo e tenta di svelare l’arcano.

[Frederik · Rating 3 out of 5]

Een vrij hilarisch geschreven boekje over de eetgewoonten en zienswijzen op specerijen van 7 filosofen.

[PULRULCZYK · Rating 4 out of 5]

Très Instructif et facilite grandement l'apprentissage des différentes philosophies

[Valantis · Rating 3 out of 5]

Τίποτ' άλλο παρά τροφή... για σκέψη.

[Esma Sever · Rating 4 out of 5]

Çok farklı ve eğlenceli bir kitap bence. Filozofların ne yediklerini anlatıyor bazen yemeklere ne anlam verdiklerinden de bahsediyor.

"Kadinlar yemek pisirmeyi bilmiyor, bu yuzden Alman toplumu cokecek" diyen Nietzsche'den cig et yememiz gerektigini savunan ve cig ahtapot yerken olen Diyojen'e kadar birbirinden ilginc filozof diyeti.. Biraz daha ilgi cekici ve daha kisa bir anlatimla cok daha carpici bir kitap olabilirmis.

[Bertrand · Rating 4 out of 5]

Réellement intéressant de par la curiosité philosophique qu'il représnte. On peut toutefois reprocher à Onfray le plus gros point Godwin imaginable quand il associe critique du végétarisme et Hitler.

[Anne-Marie Ducret · Rating 5 out of 5]

Informatif, distrayant. Pas toujours critique.
