Philosopher & Author

Peter Sloterdijk is the rector of the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Karlsruhe and Professor of philosophy and ethics at the University of Vienna. The conference, entitled Rules for the Human Park that he gave in 1999 at the symposium on Heidegger, aroused an international debate on the possible end of humanism and self-domestication of the human species as possible.

“One of the most famous contemporary German philosophers”

[expand title=”In detail”] Prof. Sloterdijk is also a guest Professor at the Academy of the Forming Arts, Vienna Bard College, New York, and guest Lecturer at the College International de Philosophie, Paris, and the Swiss Federal Technical University in Zurich. Peter became a freelance writer after graduation. Numerous works covering time diagnostics, culture and religion philosophy, art theory and psychology have been published up to 1992.
