In this short book Peter Sloterdijk clarifies his views on religion and its role in pre-modern and modern societies. He begins by returning to the Mount Sinai episode in the Book of Exodus, where he identifies the emergence of what he calls the ?Sinai Schema?. At the core of monotheism is the logic of belonging to a community of confession, of being a true believer - this is what Sloterdijk calls the Sinai Schema. To be a member of a people means that you submit to the beliefs of the community just as you submit to its language. Monotheism is predicated on the logic of one God who demands...

Von Peter Sloterdijk kann man zu Recht sagen, daß jeder seiner Aufsätze, jeder seiner Vorträge auch ein ungeschriebenes Buch ist. Deshalb sind die hier vorgelegten Texte, die eine philosophische Physiognomie Martin Heideggers skizzieren, auch als gesammelter Verzicht auf Ausführlichkeit zu bezeichnen.
Um Heideggers Denken in der Ideen- und Problemgeschichte zu verorten, nähert sich Peter Sloterdijk dessen Werk durch Fragen: Wenn die westliche Philosophie aus dem Geist der Polis entstand, wie steht es dann um die Philosophietauglichkeit eines Mannes, der aus seiner trotzigen...

The conflicts between the three great monotheistic religions ? Christianity, Judaism and Islam ? are shaping our world more than ever before.

In this important new book Peter Sloterdijk returns to the origins of monotheism in order to shed new light on the conflict of the faiths today. Following the polytheism of the ancient civilizations of the Egyptians, Hittites and Babylonians, Jewish monotheism was born as a theology of protest, as a religion of triumph within defeat. While the religion of the Jews remained limited to their own people, Christianity unfolded its message with...

Solange man kein Grau gemalt habe, sagte Paul Cézanne einmal, sei man kein Maler. Wenn Peter Sloterdijk diesen Satz auf die Philosophie überträgt, mag dies wie eine maßlose Provokation klingen. Warum sollten Philosophen eine einzelne Farbe denken, anstatt sich mit Ethik, Metaphysik oder Logik zu beschäftigen?

»Ist Lebenskunst nicht mehr als ein leicht gesagtes Wort für die schwer zu erwerbende Disziplin der Grauzonenkunde?«, fragt Peter Sloterdijk und folgt dem grauen Faden durch die Philosophie-, Kunst- und Mentalitätsgeschichte. Er befasst sich mit der Rotvergrauung der...

In this short book Peter Sloterdijk offers a genealogy of the concept of freedom from Ancient Greece to the present day. This genealogy is part of a broader theory of the large political body, according to which Sloterdijk argues that political communities arise in response to a form of anxiety or stress. Through a highly original reading of Rousseau's late Reveries of a Solitary Walker, Sloterdijk shows that, for Rousseau, the modern subject emerges as a subject free of all stress, unburdened by the cares of the world. Most of modern philosophy, and above all German Idealism, is an...

In this brief but illuminating text, Sloterdijk offers a series of recontextualizations of Derrida's work by exploring the connections between Derrida and...

Peter Sloterdijk's reputation as one of the most original thinkers of our time has grown steadily since the early 1980s. This volume of over thirty conversations and interviews spanning two decades illuminates the multiple interconnections of his life and work.

In these wide-ranging dialogues Sloterdijk gives his views on a variety of topics, from doping to doxa, design to dogma, media to mobility and the financial crisis to football. Here we encounter Sloterdijk from every angle: as he expounds his ideas on the philosophical tradition and the latest strands of contemporary thought,...

For Peter Sloterdijk, Friedrich Nietzsche represents nothing short of a -catastrophe in the history of language- -- a new evangelist for a linguistics of narcissistic jubilation. Nietzsche offered a philosophical declaration of independence from humility, a meeting-point of sobriety and megalomania that for Sloterdijk has come to define the very project of philosophy.

Yet for all the significance of this language-event named Nietzsche, Nietzsche's contributions have too often been elided and the contradictions at the root of his philosophy too often edited out. As Sloterdijk...

One can rightly say of Peter Sloterdijk that each of his essays and lectures is also an unwritten book. That is why the texts presented here, which sketch a philosophical physiognomy of Martin Heidegger, should also be characterized as a collected renunciation of exhaustiveness.

In order to situate Heidegger's thought in the history of ideas and problems, Peter Sloterdijk approaches Heidegger's work with questions such as: If Western philosophy emerged from the spirit of the polis, what are we to make of the philosophical suitability of a man who never made a secret of his stubborn...
