Peter Sloterdijk is one of the most inventive, provocative and controversial contemporary philosopher. A disciple of Nietzsche and Heidegger in rupture with the tradition of the School of Frankfurt, he is the most  French of German philosophers. He was already something of a miracle when he emerged in the late 80s, and he has consistently remained a game changer. Jean-Pierre Couture's study will definitely fulfill the readers's expectations.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eSylvere Lotringer, Columbia University\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\"An excellent, intriguing and perceptive study of Peter Sloterdijk�s extraordinary work. This is no small task - Sloterdijk is a prolific writer, who covers a wide range of topics, and who is allusive, provocative and often unsystematic.

In this unique textbook, leading Sloterdijk expert Jean-Pierre Couture explains in accessible language Sloterdijk�s exceptional contribution, breaking his thought down into five key approaches: psychopolitics, anthropotechnics, spherology, controversy, and therapeutics. Sloterdijk�s frequent public controversies, with supporters of Habermas and the Frankfurt school in particular, are assessed and their significance for current philosophical debates explained.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis fascinating book will be an essential companion for those interested in the hybrid aesthetics of thought situated at the crossroads of art and philosophy.
