These original and insightful essays not only present a persuasive case for the significance of Sloterdijk's unique position on a range of important issues, they also confront the curious resistance of Sloterdijk's thought. Why, given the profound range and depth of this magisterial theorist, have we not yet come to terms with the problems he poses? Elden's introduction and the authoritative contributions that follow would be of value for anyone new to Sloterdijk's work as well as already committed readers who seek to enrich their understanding.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eClaire Colebrook, Penn State University\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements vii\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e List of Contributors viii\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e List of Abbreviations xi\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 1 Worlds, Engagements, Temperaments 1\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eStuart Elden\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 2 Sloterdijk’s Cynicism: Diogenes in the Marketplace 17\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eBabette Babich\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 3 From Psychopolitics to Cosmopolitics: The Problem of Ressentiment 37\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eSjoerd van Tuinen\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 4 A Letter on Überhumanismus: Beyond Posthumanism and Transhumanism 58\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eEduardo Mendieta\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 5 The Coming-to-the-World of the Human Animal 77\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eMarie-Eve Morin\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 6 A Public Intellectual 96\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eJean-Pierre Couture\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 7 The Language of Give and Take: Sloterdijk’s Stylistic Methods 114\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eWieland Hoban\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 8 Peter Sloterdijk and the Philosopher’s Stone 133\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eNigel Thrift\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 9 Literature in Sloterdijk’s Philosophy 147\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eEfraín Kristal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 10 The Time of the Crime of the Monstrous: On the Philosophical Justifi cation of the Artificial 165\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003ePeter Sloterdijk (translated by Wieland Hoban)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Notes 182\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Index 203\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Polity Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51862919414103,"sku":"9780745651361","price":21.53,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780745651361.jpg?v=1759919092","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/sloterdijk-now-9780745651361","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
