In his explorations, Peter Sloterdijk touches upon all classical and modern genres of the arts, from music to architecture, from the art of enlightenment to the art of movement, from design to typography. He traverses all fields of the visible and invisible, the audible and inaudible - the historical range of his observations spans from antiquity to Hollywood. By extending his unique method of discourse estrangement to the examination of artworks and genres, the objects described appear in a suddenly altered light - and the author, with his alert and contentious contemporaneity, leads us far away from the well-trodden paths of art commentary. The engagement of this great philosopher with the diverse phenomena of the aesthetic transforms into a joyful-serious endeavor in art and the arts.
