    Bookmarks in the Book of Europe

    by Peter Sloterdijk ...
    Europe has often been the target of criticism: Europe has lost touch with its core values, its leaders are indecisive and its citizens are confused, unsure whether they should be proud of their past or embarrassed by it – the litany of accusations is long, and the writers of obituaries have never been at a loss for words to describe the death of the Old Continent.Many of these criticisms are ...

  • You Must Change Your Life

    by Peter Sloterdijk ...
    In his major investigation into the nature of humans, Peter Sloterdijk presents a critique of myth - the myth of the return of religion. For it is not religion that is returning; rather, there is something else quite profound that is taking on increasing significance in the present: the human as a practising, training being, one that creates itself through exercises and thereby transcends itself. ...

  • Not Saved

    Essays After Heidegger

    by Peter Sloterdijk ...
    One can rightly say of Peter Sloterdijk that each of his essays and lectures is also an unwritten book.

  • What Happened in the Twentieth Century?

    Towards a Critique of Extremist Reason

    by Peter Sloterdijk ...
    Translated by Christopher Turner ...
    When we look back from the vantage point of the 21st century and ask ourselves what the previous century was all about, what do we see? Our first inclination is to focus on historical events: the 20th century was the age of two devastating world wars, of totalitarian regimes and terrible atrocities like the Holocaust – “the age of extremes,” to use Hobsbawm’s famous phrase. But in this new book, ... Read more

    A Psychopolitical Investigation

    by Peter Sloterdijk ...

Rather, Christianity and psychoanalysis have promoted mutual understanding to overcome ... Read more

  • Infinite Mobilization

    by Peter Sloterdijk ...
    Translated by Sandra Berjan ...

  • In The Shadow of Mount Sinai

    by Peter Sloterdijk ...
    In this short book Peter Sloterdijk clarifies his views on religion and its role in pre-modern and modern societies.

  • If You Have Never Thought Gray

    A Theory of Color

    by Peter Sloterdijk ...
    Translated by Corey Anderson Dansereau, Robert Hughes ...
    “You’re not a painter if you haven’t painted gray”, declared Paul Cézanne. The same could be said of philosophers: you’re not a philosopher if you have never thought gray. This simple four-letter word signifies much more than a quasi-neutral color lying between black and white: we use the same word to describe moods, November skies, the hair of the elderly, the withered features of faces, dusty ...
