1. Suhrkamp Gottesbeweise
Proofs of God are among the major themes of Western philosophy. In the 20th century, they have been reformulated with the help of modern logic, and in analytical philosophy, proofs of God have been controversially discussed for decades. The question of God's existence is evidently more relevant than ever in the post-metaphysical age.
This volume gathers the major proofs of God from the Middle Ages and modern times, as well as the classical objections from Hume and Kant. The language-analytical debate is thoroughly documented, and a dedicated section is devoted to Kurt Gödel, whose ontological proof has not yet been conclusively refuted. Introductory essays provide an overview of the issues surrounding proofs of God and offer easily understandable reconstructions of the respective attempts at proof.

3. Suhrkamp Sphären. Mikrosphärologie
Peter Sloterdijk embarks on nothing less than the attempt to narrate the history of humanity in his three-volume work "Spheres." He starts with the simple question: Where do people live once they know they are at home on a sphere, a globe? To approach an answer to this question, Peter Sloterdijk develops the concept of spheres and weaves a fascinating, multi-perspective narrative from the earliest cultures to our global age. This first book of the Spheres trilogy deals with micro-spherical entities known as bubbles. They form the basic molecules of strong relationships. Sloterdijk's analysis takes on the unprecedented task of recounting the epic of the always lost yet never completely erased dualities. "We traverse, with the insight into our inevitable conceptual helplessness as our only sure companion, landscapes of pre-objective existence and prior relationships. During our journey through the evasive underworld of the inner world, a phantom image of a liquid and auratic universe unfolds like a sounding map – entirely woven from resonances and floating substances; within it, the primal history of the soul remains to be sought.".
4. Suhrkamp Die dunklen Seiten der Empathie
Empathy is considered the foundation of moral action and thus inherently good. However, upon closer examination, the ability to empathize with others also proves to be a prerequisite for targeted humiliations and cruelties. Moreover, even well-intentioned compassion has numerous unintended consequences. For these reasons, it is precisely the dark, previously repressed aspects of empathy that must be addressed on the path to a better society. Fritz Breithaupt invites his readers to reflect on these sides or even discover them within themselves, guiding us from narcissism and Nietzsche to helicopter parenting and Angela Merkel's refugee policy.
5. Suhrkamp Zur Entstehung einer ökologischen Klasse
The catastrophic consequences of our actions for nature are now well known. Yet emissions continue to rise. Against the mantra of economic growth, the rallying cries of young activists often seem impotent. And while once masses could be mobilised in the name of freedom and equality, climate protection is leading to new divisions. Just think of the yellow vest protests in France.
For Bruno Latour and Nikolaj Schultz, it is clear that just as the working class once fought for social progress, it now takes an ecological class to stop climate change. Where movements like Fridays For Future and local organisations often act separately, the sociologists argue for a politics that puts the protection of our livelihoods at the centre of common efforts. The history of mankind, Marx and Engels said, is the history of class struggles. If an ecological class does not emerge, Latour and Schultz argue, humanity will have no future.

6. Suhrkamp Dilthey
In contrast to the widespread tendency to separate Dilthey's early psychological writings from his later hermeneutical and historical writings, the present study seeks to show their essential continuity. Only by holding together these fundamental aspects of Dilthey's thought can the fruitfulness of his concepts and the overarching coherence of his approach be assessed. In this, conviction, Makkreel advocates the centrality of Dilthey's aesthetic writings and examines their philosophical implications-many of them Kantian-for his theory of history.
7. Suhrkamp Das Reich der Zeichen
During a trip to Japan, he became familiar with the world of Japanese characters and noticed that these characters came closest to his conception of a sign. The Japanese character is powerful: it is admirably governed by rules, arranged, and presented, never naturalized or rationalized. The Japanese character is empty: its signified escapes, there is no god, no truth, no morality underlying this signifier that reigns without its counterpart. And above all, the higher quality of this character, the grace of its assertion, and the erotic charm with which it appears are imprinted everywhere, on the most trivial objects and behaviors that we normally refer to as insignificant or banal.

9. Suhrkamp In Verteidigung der Gesellschaft
In addition to the large four-volume edition of Dits et Ecrits, a comprehensive edition of Foucault's lectures at the Collège de France is currently being published. In these lectures, a new Foucault can be discovered: In addition to the trenchant oral presentation of the subject matter, which clarifies his path of thought, there is always an effort to update, to analyze the present. The edition of the 1975/76 lecture In Defense of Society, with which this edition began, follows manuscripts and tape recordings. Here, Foucault explores the extent to which power relations can be analyzed on the model of war. His remarks, polemical in both senses of the word, can be summed up in the question of whether, in a reversal of Clausewitz, politics is the continuation of war by other means.
10. Suhrkamp Erfindet euch neu!
The world has changed rapidly in recent decades: The world population and life expectancy are increasing; traditional large collectives such as nations, denominations and parties are losing their binding force; knowledge that used to be stored in libraries and had to be acquired with great effort is now available to us everywhere. Change has long since reached such a scale that, according to Michel Serres, we can justifiably say that members of the younger generations belong to a different species: that of the "little thumbs" who control their smartphones with nimble fingers, network and communicate. The great philosopher Michel Serres dedicates this declaration of love to the "little thumbs". Far away from any anti-technology cultural criticism, he calls on them to seize their chance and reinvent everything: society, the educational system - and themselves.
