Peter Sloterdijk is Professor of Philosophy and Aesthetics at the Karlsruhe School of Design.
From a philosophical reflection on the Anthropocene to a reconsideration of Heidegger's politics, Sloterdijk gathers here a Borgesian palimpsest of ways of looking at our history and historicity. This is Sloterdijk's response to Adorno and Horkheimer's Dialectic of Enlightenment and Hobsbawm's The Age of Extremes - it is a book of ideas and Cyclopean landscapes that gives us a new diagnosis of our times.
