The reflections on the theory and history of religion which Peter Sloterdijk outlined in Gottes Eifer (2007; translated as God’s Zeal, Polity 2009) and Du mußt dein Leben ändern (2009; translated as You Must Change Your Life, Polity 2012) attracted a great deal of interest, but have also given rise to a number of misunderstandings and critical objections.
In his latest book, Sloterdijk focuses on the scene at Mount Sinai in the Book of Exodus as a means of further refining his thoughts on monotheism and violence, and on the role of religion in pre-modern societies. He examines the ethnoplastic function performed by religioid semantics of unity and shows why, in view of this heritage, we react so nervously to all forms of fundamentalism – be it radical Islamism, the Catholic Society of Saint Pius X, or evangelical sects in the USA.
Peter Sloterdijk was born in 1947 and is professor emeritus of Aesthetics and Philosophy at the Institute of Design in Karlsruhe. The unmistakable characteristic of Peter Sloterdijk’s thought and writings is the way he embeds current issues in a long history. This way, he succeeds in redefining the current human condition, visualizes it from a hitherto unknown perspective, and finds evidence for unexpected or unsought connections. His book Kritik der zynischen Vernunft is one of the biggest-selling philosophical books of the 20th century.

After a longer time (of reflection), Peter Sloterdijk has succumbed to the inevitable. No one who has read Lines and Days, the previous book that was hyped by readers and reviewers, could resist demanding a sequel. Nor the temptation to make the private public, and vice versa.
