«Le Crépuscule d'une idole: L'affabulation freudienne» is the essay by Michel Onfray published by Le Livre de Poche in paperback (637 pages, in French).
Michel Onfray argues that psychoanalysis and Freudianism do not constitute a science, but a construction based on legends and great fabulation. He reviews Freud's biography and writings, describes him as a Viennese shaman employing magical thinking, and contrasts his claims with testimonies, letters, and classical texts.
The essay originally appeared in 2010; this paperback edition was published in 2011.
For philosophy readers interested in the critical review of psychoanalysis and the work of Michel Onfray.
