The most important interviews and articles gathered here document a learning process in which the seriousness of the situation and the search for appropriate interpretations are gradually developing. For Peter Sloterdijk, the Corona crisis is not merely an economic or socio-political caesura. Rather, it marks the »beginning of an age whose basic ethical evidence is co-immunism, the swearing in of individuals to mutual protection«. This requires a new definition of togetherness, a »changed grammar of our behaviour« and a global immunitarian rationality. The consequences this will have for us can be gleaned from these clear-sighted, forward-looking talks as well.

»Experiencing Germany’s top thinker in conversation, even if only in writing, is a treat. He has something to say about all matters relating to governmental action in times of crisis and about numerous other topics.« Thomas Kliemann, General-Anzeiger

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.
