The first volume in Peter Sloterdijk's monumental Spheres trilogy:
an investigation of humanity's engagement with intimate spaces. An
epic project in both size and purview, Peter Sloterdijk's
three-volume, 2,500-page Spheres is the late-twentieth-century
bookend to Heidegger's Being and Time. Rejecting the century's
predominant philosophical focus on temporality, Sloterdijk, a
self-described "student of the air," reinterprets the history of
Western metaphysics as an inherently spatial and immunological
project, from the discovery of self (bubble) to the exploration of
world (globe) to the poetics of plurality (foam). Exploring macro-
and micro-space from the Greek agora to the contemporary urban
apartment, Sloterdijk is able to synthesize, with immense
erudition, the spatial theories of Aristotle, Rene Descartes,
Gaston Bachelard, Walter Benjamin, and Georges Bataille into a
morphology of shared, or multipolar, dwelling-identifying the
question of being as one bound up with the aerial technology of
architectonics and anthropogenesis. Sloterdijk describes Bubbles,
the first volume of Spheres, as a general theory of the structures
that allow couplings-or as the book's original intended subtitle
put it, an "archeology of the intimate." Bubbles includes a wide
array of images, not to illustrate Sloterdijk's discourse, but to
offer a spatial and visual "parallel narrative" to his exploration
of bubbles. Written over the course of a decade, the Spheres
trilogy has waited another decade for its much-anticipated English
translation from Semiotext(e). Volumes II, Globes, and III, Foam,
will be published in the coming seasons.
