Peter Sloterdijk [ ˈsloːtɐˌdaɪk ] (born June 26, 1947 in Karlsruhe ) is a German philosopher , cultural scientist and book author who has sparked numerous debates in Germany with his articles and books. Until 2017 he taught philosophy and aesthetics at the Karlsruhe University of Design .

Life

Sloterdijk's birth was “complicated” and it was followed by “ severe jaundice ” due to a rhesus incompatibility in the parents. His German mother, born in 1915, had graduated from high school as a young girl at the Luisen-Gymnasium in Munich around 1934. Later during the Second World War , she was stationed in the Netherlands, where she held a position as a radar supervisor in the Wehrmacht. In the post-war years in Germany she met her Dutch husband and Peter's father, a sailor born in 1912 for the Dutch merchant navy and later a professional truck driver . The marriage did not last long, so that Peter and a sister, as he wrote, grew up "without a formative paternal element".

The family moved to Munich, where he attended the Wittelsbacher Gymnasium until he graduated from high school, with a short break around 1957 when he went to a boarding school on Lake Ammersee, from which he fled with friends. From 1968 to 1974 he studied philosophy , history and German in Munich and Hamburg . Sloterdijk wrote his master's thesis in 1971 with the title Structuralism as Poetic Hermeneutics . An essay on Michel Foucault's structural theory of history and a study entitled The Economy of Language Games followed in 1972/73 . On the critique of the linguistic constitution of the subject . Sloterdijk was a scholarship holder of the German National Academic Foundation . In 1976, Peter Sloterdijk was chosen for its Professor Klaus Briegleb supervised doctoral thesis on the subject of literature and organization of life experience, genre theory and genre history of the autobiography of the Weimar Republic from 1918 to 1933 by the Department of Linguistics , University of Hamburg PhD . During this time, Sunhild Bonfert was his partner for fifteen years.

Between 1978 and 1980 Sloterdijk stayed in the ashram of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (later Osho) in Pune, India ; he describes the change of mind that he experienced there as an "irreversible" one, without which his writing would be inconceivable.

From 1980 to 1991 Sloterdijk was a freelance writer. In 1988 he read the Frankfurt Poetics Lectures as part of the Foundation Guest Lecturer for Poetics at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main . From 1992 to 2017 he held the chair for philosophy and aesthetics at the State University of Design in Karlsruhe. In addition, Sloterdijk became head of the Institute for Cultural Philosophy at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna in 1993 , until he finally took over a contract professorship at the Chair for Cultural Philosophy and Media Theory in Vienna in 2001 . He was also a visiting lecturer at Bard College , New York , at the Collège international de philosophie , Paris , at the Friedrich Nietzsche College of the Klassik Stiftung Weimar and at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology , Zurich .

In 2000 he became the patron of the Albert Schweitzer Foundation for Our Environment , which separated from him after ten years. In succession to Heinrich Klotz , he took over the office of rector of the State University of Design in Karlsruhe from 2001 to 2015 , where he continued to teach alongside administrative management. One of the most prominent students of Sloterdijk is his longtime assistant from Karlsruhe, Marc Jongen , who became known as the “ AfD party philosopher ” . In 2001 and 2002 Sloterdijk was a fellow of the Friedrich Nietzsche College.

In the course of his lively lectures at home and abroad, Sloterdijk's level of awareness increased. From 2002 to 2012 he moderated - together with Rüdiger Safranski  - the panel discussion Das Philosophische Quartett on ZDF . Peter Sloterdijk is an associate member of the Frankfurt Future Council, which was founded in 2008. Since 2008 he has been a member of the Free Academy of the Arts in Hamburg . In 2012 he expanded his field of activity and wrote the libretto for the opera Babylon by Jörg Widmann . On the occasion of Sloterdijk's 70th birthday, the Center for Art and Media held a symposium from June 23 to 25, 2017 under the title “Of dawns that haven't shone yet”. In May 2019 it was announced that his archive would be donated to the German Literature Archive in Marbach .

Sloterdijk on Radio Day 2009

In his writings, Sloterdijk presented a “popular philosophical anthropology ”. His first great success came with the Critique of Cynical Reason from 1983; the book became a bestseller . The rules for the human park sparked a heated public debate in 1999. Sloterdijk was accused of having made a plea for a fascist breeding ideology. His “ Opus Magnum ”, the Sphären trilogy (1998/1999), was created in the years before the turn of the millennium . Sloterdijk's culture-critical - essayistic thinking has its origins in the Frankfurt School , from which he later turned away and decidedly differentiated; he assimilates the antipodal work of Heidegger in order to currently update the traditions of Nietzsche and Hegel .

Contributions to the debate

Religion and society

In his 2007 essay God's Zeal , Sloterdijk compares the three major monotheistic religions : Judaism , Christianity and Islam . He traces them back to their Abrahamic roots and describes what separates them from one another and how their beliefs differ. He explores the question of which political, social and psychodynamic conditions caused the emergence of monotheism . In Sloterdijk's analysis, Judaism first emancipated itself against the polytheism of the Egyptians , Hittites and Babylonians and asserted itself as a protest theology of "triumph in defeat". While the religion of Judaism remained limited to its own people, Christianity with its apostolic message also modified existing traditional religions and included them in their universal preaching content. Islam has intensified offensive universalism into a mode of military-political expansion. Sloterdijk now comes to the assumption that the great commonality of the three religions is the "zealous" and "one-valued" expression of their claim to the truth of God. This inevitably leads to a confrontational basic constellation that determines our present to a previously unknown extent. The reactions to the mutual attacks and those from outside are different: For Judaism a sovereignist separatism with defensive features had become formative, for Christianity the expansion through mission and for Islam the holy war . These conflicts are intensified by the human death drive and are therefore difficult to resolve. Sloterdijk assumes that belief is a fundamental anthropological constant. He also raises the question of whether and how religions can be led on a "civilizational path" in order to make their spiritual potential usable.

In the present, the three religions Christianity, Judaism and Islam are called upon, as Sloterdijk demanded in a reinterpretation of Lessing's ring parable , from “zealotry to parties of a civil society ”.

Sloterdijk's contributions on the subject of religion are perceived by theologians as a challenge and criticized, but also received.

Economic and tax policy

Sloterdijk triggered a German controversy about the current fiscal state with a text published in the FAZ on June 13, 2009 under the title The Revolution of the Giving Hand . What is now referred to as “ capitalism ” or “ social market economy ”, he calls a “semi-socialism based on property management”, pleading for “the abolition of compulsory taxes and their conversion into gifts to the general public”. This thesis drew contributions from the Frankfurt School to Die Zeit , in particular from Lutz Wingert and Axel Honneth . Wingert spoke of an "alliance of top performers" against the "weak"; Honneth called Sloterdijk's theses "fatal profundity ". The debate continued in the FAZ and other media; Sloterdijk prepared to deal with them in his book The taking hand and the giving side: Contributions to a debate on the democratic re-establishment of taxes in 2010. In an interview with René Scheu , published in the debate magazine Schweizer Month , he calls for the ruling “fiscal cleptocracy” to be replaced by a “fiscal democracy” in which citizens can have a say in where their tax and gift flows go. The Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ) attests that the thinker has originality in thinking, but calls the idea of ​​“replacing taxes with a wealthy ethic of voluntary gift” a “perverse idea”.

National debt

In several interviews, he addressed the financial crisis from 2007 against the background of the modern debt economy and spoke of a “disorientation of historical magnitudes” when old debts can always be used to secure new debts. What the states and banks are missing today is "pledge prudence". Sloterdijk refers to the theory of property economics as worked out by Gunnar Heinsohn .

Europe

In his reflections on something that is no longer apolitical , Sloterdijk sees the project of the European Union “before the collapse” and predicts an “inevitable reformatting of Europe”.

Refugee crisis

In the refugee crisis , Sloterdijk took a position against the policy advocated by Chancellor Angela Merkel : "The German government abandoned itself to being rolled over in an act of renouncing sovereignty," he said in an interview with the magazine Cicero . However, there is “no moral obligation to self-destruct”. In this context, he scolded the behavior of the media as a “ether of lies” that was more dense “than it was since the days of the Cold War”. In journalism a “neglect” and “rampant partisanship emerge all too clearly”. Efforts to achieve neutrality are low, "the employees who express their opinion are paid to let themselves go, and they accept the job."

In the public debate that followed, Sloterdijk was clearly criticized several times. Sun threw Richard David Precht him the use of Nazi jargon before. Terms like “well-tempered cruelty” sound “after Rudolf Höß ”. The AfD politician Björn Höcke used the term approvingly in his book Never twice in the same river from 2018 in connection with his demand for a “large-scale re-migration project”.

Georg Diez described Sloterdijk as a "poseur, relativizer, fog thrower", who "made a career out of turning reality into whispers". His philosophy is enriched with right-wing conspiracy theories and preaches a "crude 'naturalness'". The publicist Georg Seeßlen also attests that Sloterdijk and Rüdiger Safranski have taken up an anti-modern discourse and contributed to the fact that a rational discussion is no longer possible. The sociologist Armin Nassehi and the political scientist Herfried Münkler were also critical . According to Nassehi, the Cicero interview served with a “cultural criticism that greeted the refugee crisis with relish as an opportunity to say sentences that would be clearly too ugly”, “precisely those semantics on which right-wing and right-wing intellectual invectives currently live”. Münkler called the contributions of Sloterdijk and Safranski "ignorant", "clueless" and a sign of the "serious lack [s] of strategic reflexivity in the political culture of this country". They "who have staged themselves for years as guardians of the Grail of real complexity and representatives of complex thinking" now give "under-complex answers" and suggest that "one [could] return to an order in Europe in which borders and sovereignty are the guiding principles of the political were ”.

In a replica, Sloterdijk defended his position against the critics, especially against Münkler. He had expressed his "concerns" about the "'flooding' of Germany with uncontrollable waves of refugees" not from a nationally conservative or new right-wing stance, but from a "left-wing conservative concern about the endangered social cohesion" and continued to believe the " Popular opinion "that the" Merkelsch [e] welcome propaganda [...] is improvisation at the last minute ". His critics carried out "intentional misreading" and were guided by "bite rage, polemics and hatred of deviations".

Sex and feminism

In September 2016, Peter Sloterdijk published the e-mail novel The Schelling Project . The semi-autobiographical text contains a self-portrait of the author who appears under the only slightly changed name "Peer Sloterdijk"; even several of his friends appear encrypted in an easily readable form. Together they draft an email exchange proposal for a research project that they want to submit to the German Research Foundation (DFG). His theme is the evolution of the female orgasm . In order to make the application appear more profound and thus dazzle the reviewers, the applicants fake a connection between the project and the natural philosophy of Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling . However, the reviewers see through the mystification and reject the project. After the application fails, the team dissolves; each of the protagonists goes their own way. In the last chapter, different thoughts and project ideas are presented by the characters in terms of climatic factors . An inexplicable email dead Nicolaus Sombart is a welcome change to the exceptional sociologists the homage to prove.

Since, as Jens Jessen pointed out, Sloterdijk put hardly any effort into a literary design of the material, his text was immediately understood as a political statement: as an attack on gender mainstreaming in Western countries at the beginning of the 21st century. The writer Elke Schmitter described Sloterdijk's text in an article for Der Spiegel entitled “The woman as a man's joke” as an anti-feminist pamphlet that was only barely camouflaged as a novel.

identity

In April 2018, in an interview with René Scheu , Sloterdijk drafted a theory of drift that begins with the sliding of species in the 19th century, continues through the dissolution of social collectives in the 20th century and extends to the transformation of parties into movements in the 21st century in which individuals only share their feelings. The feeling of accelerated change is intensified by the immigration of robots and people from other cultures. Suddenly everyone felt like the Kafka character Gregor Samsa . Sloterdijk says: “Anyone who wakes up in the morning and recognizes himself or herself after a start-up phase in the bathroom as who or who lay down the previous evening can be considered stable and therefore tolerant of change. On the other hand, anyone who has reason to believe that the recognition effect might not materialize is at risk - and probably ready to do much, indeed anything, in order to defend the identity that he or she thinks he or she has lost.
