Michel Onfray reste fidèle à la morale hédoniste dont il avait déjà esquissé les principes. En effet, pour ce jeune philosophe, l'Occident est fondé sur des valeurs et des vertus caduques. Il leur oppose, avec une grande allégresse de pensée et de style d'autres valeurs tournées vers le plaisir, la jouissance. Il voudrait donc ressusciter la virtù de la Renaissance contre les vertus judéo-chrétiennes. Il a imaginé ce livre qui est une promenade autour de la Méditerranée, principalement en Italie, à la recherche de tous les vestiges de cette virtù. Il rencontre ainsi la statue équestre d'un condottiere qui lui semble résumer ce dont sa pensée conserve la nostalgie: courage, théâtre, sens du jeu et de l'audace, passion de l'amitié, de la beauté et de la politesse, qualités qui toutes pourraient permettre à l'individu moderne de se sculpter.
