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...

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,...

Von jeher muss der Mensch seinen »Stoffwechsel mit der Natur« organisieren. Für Marx war der wichtigste Faktor dabei die Arbeit. Als Prometheus, dem Mythos zufolge, das Feuer auf die Erde brachte, kam ein weiterer entscheidender Input hinzu. Seit Hunderttausenden Jahren wird es genutzt, um Nahrung zu garen und Werkzeuge zu härten. In diesem Sinne lässt sich sagen: Alle Geschichte bedeutet die Geschichte von Applikationen des Feuers.
Doch wo Bäume sich vormals nur je einmal verbrennen ließen, verschoben sich die Gewichte der Faktoren Arbeit und Feuer mit der Entdeckung...

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...

Für gewöhnlich wird über Religion unter theologischen, historischen oder politischen Gesichtspunkten nachgedacht. Darüber gerät in Vergessenheit, dass Götter den Gläubigen stets vermittelt begegnen - in Texten oder durch Medien. Dichter legen ihnen Metaphern in den Mund; Priester inszenieren effektvoll Rituale; Konfessionen werden auch über ästhetische Verfahren konstituiert. Religionen sind immer auch literarische Produkte, mit deren Hilfe die Autoren um Klienten auf dem engen Markt der Aufmerksamkeit konkurrieren.

In Die Götter zum Sprechen bringen...

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...
