This wide-ranging, engaging, thoughtful and provocative book illustrates why. An unashamedly grand narrative, it engages with both the philosophical and political complexities of the question of the world. It is once again presented in a very fine translation by Wieland Hoban.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eStuart Elden, Durham University\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"Peter Sloterdijk never disappoints when it comes to producing an original point of view. Equally, he never disappoints in the magnitude of his ambitions. In this deeply original and hyper-ambitious book, he presents a history of globalization, no less. In doing so, he resurrects what has become a tired and hackneyed term by reconstituting it as a drama of location but one wherein the notion of location is itself brought into the play as a central element of the plot. And what a play it is, the play of an ever-increasing density of events and an ever-decreasing concentration of purpose which – if we’re not very careful – will produce a 'last orb'. Wonderful stuff which restores our faith in the power of grand narratives.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eNigel Thrift, University of Warwick\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFirst Part On the Emergence of the World System 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Of Grand Narratives 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 The Wandering Star 15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Return to Earth 21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Globe Time, World Picture Time 27\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Turn from the East, Entrance into the Homogeneous Space 33\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Jules Verne and Hegel 36\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Waterworld: On the Change of the Central Element in the Modern Age 40\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Fortuna, or: The Metaphysics of Chance 47\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Risk-Taking 50\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Delusion and Time: On Capitalism and Telepathy 53\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 The Invention of Subjectivity – Primary Disinhibition and Its Advisers 57\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 Irreflexive Energies: The Ontology of the Headstart 66\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e13 Nautical Ecstasies 77\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e14 ‘Corporate Identity’ on the High Seas, Parting of Minds 81\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e15 The Basic Movement: Money Returns 84\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e16 Between Justifications and Assurances: On Terran and Maritime Thought 86\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e17 Expedition and Truth 94\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e18 The Signs of the Explorers: On Cartography and Imperial Name Magic 98\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e19 The Pure Outside 109\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e20 Theory of the Pirate: The White Terror 112\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e21 The Modern Age and the New Land Syndrome 116\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAmericanology 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e22 The Five Canopies of Globalization: Aspects of European Space Exportation 120\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e23 The Poetics of the Ship’s Hold 122\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e24 Onboard Clerics: The Religious Network 124\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e25 The Book of Vice-Kings 128\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e26 The Library of Globalization 131\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e27 The Translators 134\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSecond Part The Grand Interior 137\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e28 Synchronous World 139\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e29 The Second Ecumene 143\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e30 The Immunological Transformation: On the Way to Thin-Walled ‘Societies’ 149\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e31 Believing and Knowing: In hoc signo (sc. globi) vinces 155\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e32 Post-History 165\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e33 The Crystal Palace 169\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e34 The Dense World and Secondary Disinhibition: Terrorism as the Romanticism of the Pure Attack 177\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e35 Twilight of the Perpetrators and the Ethics of Responsibility: The Cybernetic Erinyes 187\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e36 The Capitalist World Interior: Rainer Maria Rilke Almost Meets Adam Smith 193\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e37 Mutations in the Pampering Space 211\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e38 Revaluation of All Values: The Principle of Abundance 223\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e39 The Exception: Anatomy of a Temptation 233\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAmericanology 2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e40 The Uncompressible, or: The Rediscovery of the Extended 249\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e41 In Praise of Asymmetry 258\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e42 The Heavenly and the Earthly Left 263\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes 265\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 293\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley and Sons Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49404391457111,"sku":"9780745647692","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780745647692.jpg?v=1730486316","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/in-the-world-interior-of-capital-9780745647692","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
