Peter Sloterdijk Knows it All
Manage episode 473024612 series 2421454
Today’s guest is Dr Thomas Sutherland, author of the Bloomsbury title, Speaking Philosophically: Communication at the Limits of Discursive Reason (Bloombury, 2024), lecturer in digital media at the University of Southampton, and researcher into digital culture and the humanities, the history of philosophy and contemporary continental philosophy, and technologies of the self.
We discuss three areas that concern the odd character that is Peter Sloterdijk; namely, spheres, the practising life and his rehabilitation of philosophy as wisdom.
Dr Thomas Sutherland is a deep dabbler in Sloterdijk’s thought, having written various papers on his work, including Peter Sloterdijk and the ‘security architecture of existence’: immunity, autochthony, and ontological nativism, and Ontological co-belonging in Peter Sloterdijk's spherological philosophy of mediation. He is also familiar with a regular mention here on the podcast, François Laruelle and his non-philosophy.
We touch on;
- Sloterdijk’s original work on Cynicism and why it is still relevant today
- Spheres, co-existence & interdependence
- The Practising Life & why ‘You Must Change your Life’
- The Art of Philosophy as Wisdom
- The strengths and weaknesses of Sloterdijk’s insights
