Peter Sloterdijk is an internationally renowned philosopher and
thinker whose work is now seen as increasingly relevant to our
contemporary world situation and the multiple crises that punctuate
it, including those within ethical, political, economic,
technological, and ecological realms. This volume focuses upon one
of his central ideas, anthropotechnics. Broadly speaking,
anthropotechnics refers to the technological constitution of the
human as its fundamental mode of existence, which is characterized
by the ability to create dwelling places that 'immunize' human
beings from exterior threats while at the same time instituting
practices and exercises that call on humanity to transcend itself
'ascetically'. The essays included in this volume enter a critical
dialogue with Sloterdijk and his many philosophical interlocutors
in order to interrogate the many implications of anthropotechnics
in relation to some of the most pressing issues of our time,
including and especially the question of the future of humanity in
relation to globalism and modernization, climate change, the
post-secular, neoliberalism, and artificial intelligence. The
chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue
of Angelaki.
