Having realized what is the cause and the source of the world, the philosopher, believing that he destroys the visible world, deprives himself of sight. But will he stop there? .

And around the philosopher begins a real whirling . As on the dance floor, they dance, or rather, interfere with everything, exposing the hero's ideas of virtue to a serious test.
