«Théorie du voyage» is the philosophical essay by Michel Onfray, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback format (125 pages, in French).
Onfray proposes travel as an almost religious experience: following the shepherds allows one to rediscover a pagan pantheism and the presence of the ancient gods. Against everything that encloses and subjugates, from work to the homeland, the philosopher defends a nomadic life: without a clock, guided by the sun and the stars, and open to whim.
Subtitled «Poétique de la géographie», it belongs to the «biblio essais» collection of Le Livre de Poche. Published in 2007.
