Sommario/riassunto

In recent years, Peter Sloterdijk has become one of Germany's most influential thinkers. His diverse body of work includes a Heideggerian project to think 'space and time,' a Diogenes-inspired affirmation of the body, and a Deleuzian ontology of network-spheres. This highly accessible collection of essays brings together a team of internationally renowned scholars, including Sjoerd van Tuinen, Rudi Laermans, Peter Weibel, and Bruno Latour, to provide a series of critical reflections on Sloterdijk's oeuvre.
