Peter Sloterdijk is one of the most challenging and contentious
thinkers currently working within the European tradition. This is
the first collection devoted to his work for English-language
audiences and will act as an introduction to his work, set an
agenda for engagement with his ideas, and relate his writings to a
range of political, theoretical and practical contexts.

the first collection devoted to his work for English-language
audiences and will act as an introduction to his work, set an
agenda for engagement with his ideas, and relate his writings to a
range of political, theoretical and practical contexts.
Since his philosophical bestseller Critique of Cynical
Reason (1983), Sloterdijk has exercised an important influence
over German and other European thought and recently interest in his
diverse oeuvre has grown considerably. The past few years have seen
a number of his books translated into English, with many more to
come. The book seeks to do justice to the breadth of
Sloterdijk?s work throughout his career, orientated around
the central topics of cynicism, ressentiment, the posthuman, space
and world, art and literature, language, social science and his
role as a public intellectual. Contributors include Babette Babich,
Sjoerd van Tuinen, Eduardo Mendieta, Marie-Eve Morin, Efrain
Kristol, Wieland Hoban, Nigel Thrift, Jean-Pierre Couture, and
Sloterdijk himself.
An explicitly interdisciplinary project, Sloterdijk Now
is a crucial introduction to the work of this central thinker, in
its complexity, variety and notoriety. It is set to spark debate
amongst students and scholars across the humanities and social
sciences.
