Out of the World

"This is without question one of Sloterdijk's most important works. Engaging European philosophy across the ages, as well as Indian, Chinese, and Japanese texts, this book takes up themes from his early works but is entirely new."
-Eduardo Mendieta, Pennsylvania State University "A remarkable book by one of the most formidable thinkers of our time. Incisive and acerbic, provocative and daring but with the calm confidence of Sloterdijk's inimitable sense of style, this is a powerful, wonderful, essential read."
-Stathis Gourgouris, Columbia University "In an era that seems bogged down with flippant posthumanisms and unthinking assumptions about 'the human,' Sloterdijk's work is more important than ever. This book is a heroic venture into what it is to be a being who creates and ends the world."
-Claire Colebrook, Pennsylvania State University "As elaborate and eloquent as always, [Sloterdijk] presents a cross-cultural and interdisciplinary reflection on humanity's inclination to reject the world."-Marko Kos, Synthesis Philosophica
