The Art of Philosophy: Wisdom as a Practice
Book information
Description
ReviewA very provocative, historically penetrating, and paradigm-changing analysis of both modern and postmodern thought, which may be considered one of Peter Sloterdijk's most brilliant contributions to date to what has come to be called 'public philosophy.' This translation is vigorous and engaging and captures in different contexts the ramifications and rhetorical force of Sloterdijk's original German.(Carl Raschke, University of Denver )ReviewI am unaware of any other writer who so successfully merges creative rethinking of the philosophical and religious past. In this respect, I think Sloterdijk's work represents for me something like a gold standard. It is humorous, provocative, and deeply insightful.(Ward Blanton, University of Glasgow )
