The Fields of Sloterdijk: Spaces of Coexistence

Sloterdijk thinks that contemporary philosophers ought to think in a way full of risks, make themselves capture the excessive complexities of the age, and renounce our modern humanistic and nationalistic world for broader, ecumenical, ecological, and global horizons. The philosophy of Sloterdijk creates a balance between the strictly academic and a sense of opposition to academia that manifests, for example, in his ongoing interest in the thinking of Osho, whose disciple Sloterdijk became in the 1970s.

Sloterdijk thinks that contemporary philosophers ought to think in a way full of risks, make themselves capture the excessive complexities of the age, and renounce our modern humanistic and nationalistic world for broader, ecumenical, ecological, and global horizons. The philosophy of Sloterdijk creates a balance between the strictly academic and a sense of opposition to academia that manifests, for example, in his ongoing interest in the thinking of Osho, whose disciple Sloterdijk became in the 1970s.
