philosophical Courage

Both texts collected in this book are as bright as courageous. They aroused a heated debate in Germany, where Habermas offered the role of chief opponent Sloterdijk (see The Future of Human Nature).
In these texts, the philosopher raises thorny and eminently political problems. Noting the failure of the naive humanism preserve human barbarity, Sloterdijk calls the technique to the rescue of civilization, and invites to think straightforward or delay manipulation of man by man.
