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, as he analyses the problems of our age and as he provides
a new and startling perspective on everyday events. Through
exaggeration, Sloterdijk draws our attention to crucial issues and
controversies and makes us aware of their implications for society
and the individual. Always eager to share his knowledge and
erudition, he reveals himself equally at home in ancient Babylon,
in the channels of the mass media and on the ethical and moral
terrain of religion, education or genetic engineering. Appealing
both to the seasoned reader of Sloterdijk and to the curious
newcomer, these dialogues offer fresh insight into the intellectual
and political events of recent decades. They also give us glimpses
of Sloterdijk s own life story, from his early passionate love of
reading and writing to his journeys in East and West, his
commitment to Europe and his acceptance and enjoyment of the role
of a public intellectual and philosopher in the twenty-first
century.
