Summary Internationally renowned scholars in a series of critical reflections on the oeuvre of Peter Sloterdijk
"Sloterdijk has in recent years grown into one of Germany's most influential thinkers.

This book makes his work accessible to a wider audience by putting it to work in orientation towards current issues. Sloterdijk's philosophy moves from a Heideggerian project to think 'space and time' to a Diogenes-inspired 'kynical' affirmation of the body and a Deleuzian ontology of network-spheres.
