The book examines marijuana consumption through the lenses of several influential thinkers. It critiques the State's role in stigmatizing marijuana as a commodity, highlighting the tension between individual autonomy and state oppression, as discussed by Marx. Durkheim's perspective addresses the social implications and evolving moral consciousness surrounding marijuana use. Schopenhauer's insights on confinement and suffering provide a philosophical backdrop, while Nietzsche challenges the moral values that hinder legalization, encouraging a reevaluation of societal norms.

The book delves into the "Dialectic of Work," exploring the paradox where work can both emancipate and alienate individuals. Ricardo Antunes reflects on this duality, while also engaging with Norbert Elias' and Pierre Bourdieu's perspectives on taxation as a form of extortion. The authors question the legitimacy of such extortion, prompting readers to consider how society normalizes practices that are inherently exploitative. This thought-provoking examination invites a critical look at the nature of work and the state's role in economic relations.

Exploring the tension between belief and disbelief in ancient Greek religion, the first chapter analyzes "Book X - The Laws," while the third chapter reflects on Socrates' final moments in "Phedon," emphasizing his faith in divine justice. The study also critiques Averroes' interpretation of Aristotle's concept of the human intellect through Thomas Aquinas' perspective in the second chapter. The conclusion juxtaposes Nietzsche's philosophy with Socratic-Platonic thought, highlighting philosophical discord.
