| Summary: | Sloterdijk has in recent years grown into one of Germany’s most influential thinkers. His work, which is extremely relevant for philosophers, scientists of art and culture, sociologists, political scientists and theologists, is only now gradually being translated in English. This book makes his work accessible to a wider audience by putting it to work in orientation towards current issues.<BR>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. In a range of accessible and clearly written chapters, this book discusses the many aspects of this thought. In Medias Res brengt een gezelschap van gerenommeerde auteurs samen om het oeuvre van Peter Sloterdijk toe te lichten, kritisch te bezien en toe te passen. Sloterdijk is in recente jaren uitgegroeid tot een van de meest toonaangevende Duitse denkers. Zijn werk, dat uitermate relevant is voor filosofen, kunst- en cultuurwetenschappers, sociologen, politicologen en theologen, wordt pas sinds kort vertaald naar het Engels. Dit boek is de eerste Engelstalige bundeling die het werk van Sloterdijk toegankelijk maakt voor een breder publiek. In verschillende, helder geschreven hoofdstukken bespreken de auteurs de vele aspecten van Sloterdijks rijke filosofie. |
