»Dasein means staying in a twilight of a global scale.«
Peter Sloterdijk follows the grey thread through the history of philosophy, art and mentality. He examines the greying red of the German Democratic Republic, greyscale photography and hostile landscapes in literature. By exploring grey as a metaphor, as the indication of a mood and a display of political-moral ambiguity, he provides a multitude of captivating evidence for his book’s thesis.
»Sloterdijk plays with language, taking delight in brilliant […] expressions. Wherever you open the book, you will find sentences that inspire an embarrassing sense of envy. Sloterdijk’s style is […] unrivalled. […] A great book.« Michael Maar, Süddeutsche Zeitung
»Reading Sloterdijk means exploring untapped areas of knowledge and domains of thought that lie dormant.« Dirk Pilz, Frankfurter Rundschau
»Sloterdijk's forays ... do not add up to a handbook of the cultural history of the colour grey. Rather, they are an associative, sometimes eccentric lession in attention that invites us to look at the familiar from new perspectives. ... All of this attests to the author's stupendous erudition ...« Thomas Ribi, Neue Zürcher Zeitung
»By the end of the book one feels enriched, even delighted. How glamorous grey can be, how much silver it contains!« Gerrit Bartels, Der Tagesspiegel
»Sloterdijk is a skilled collector and arranger as well as a brilliant master craftsman of words.« Jörg Magenau, Philosophie Magazin
»Sloterdijk plays with language, taking delight in brilliant […] expressions. Wherever you open the book, you will find sentences that inspire an embarrassing sense of envy. Sloterdijk’s style is […] unrivalled. […] A great book.« Michael Maar,...
Persons
Peter Sloterdijk
Peter Sloterdijk was born in 1947 and is professor emeritus of Aesthetics and Philosophy at the Institute of Design in Karlsruhe. The unmistakable characteristic of Peter Sloterdijk’s thought and writings is the way he embeds current issues in a long history. This way, he succeeds in redefining the current human condition, visualizes it from a hitherto unknown perspective, and finds evidence for unexpected or unsought connections. His book Kritik der zynischen Vernunft is one of the biggest-selling philosophical books of the 20th century.
