In this book, Achille Mbembe explores what remains of the human subject in an age when the instrumentality of reason is carried out by and through information machines and technologies of calculation. He discusses who will define the threshold or set the boundary that distinguishes between the calculable and the incalculable, between that which is deemed worthy and that which is deemed worthless, and therefore dispensable. He asks himself whether we can turn these new instruments of calculation and power into instruments of liberation. In other words, will we be able to invent different modes of measuring, which might open up the possibility of a different aesthetics, a different politics of inhabiting the earth, of repairing and sharing the planet?"--Page 4 of cover

Iconoclastic and provocative, Sloterdijk is the most exciting and controversial German philosopher to appear on the world scene since Nietzsche and Heidegger. Like Nietzsche, Sloterdijk is convinced that contemporary philosophers have to think dangerously and allow themselves to be "kidnapped" by contemporary "hypercomplexities," forsaking old humanistic and national worldviews for a wider horizon, at once ecological and global. -- In Neither Sun nor Death, Sloterdijk answers questions posed by German writer Hans-Jürgen Heinrichs about world mobilization, fascism and post-humanism, technological catastrophes, media contagion and self-intoxication, and the theory of globalization. -- Neither Sun nor Death is the best available introduction to his philosophical itinerary. It reveals an extraordinary philosopher as much at ease with current French Theory as with Kant, Heidegger and Indian mystic Osho Rajneesh, whom he met during his seven-year sojourn in India in the 1970's, studying Eastern philosophy. --Book Jacket. Peter Sloterdijk first became known in this country for his late 1980's Critique of Cynical Reason, which confronted headlong the "enlightened false consciousness" of Habermasian critical theory. Since then he has published a wide range of books, including Spheres, his magnum opus, a three-volume archeology of the human attempt to dwell within spaces, from womb to globe: Bubbles, 1998; Globes, 1999; Foam, 2004, all forthcoming from Semiotext(e). --
