Peter Sloterdijk Quotes

• El grado de verdad que encierra algo se puede determinar mejor haciéndolo completamente risible y observando después hasta qué punto puede soportar las bromas. Porque la verdad es un asunto que resiste la burla, que se refresca con cualquier gesto irónico que se le dirija. Lo que no resiste la sátira es falso.

• In truth, philosophy is the mode of thought shaped by the most radical form of prejudice: the passion of being-in-the-world. With the sole exception of specialists in the field, virtually everyone senses that anything which offers less than this passion play remains philosophically trivial. Cultural anthropologists suggest the appealing term 'deep play' for the comprehensively absorbing preoccupations of human beings. From the perspective of a theory of the practising life we would add: the deep plays are those which are moved by the heights.

• El impulso violento y antirracionalista de los países occidentales reacciona ante un estado de cosas intelectual en el que todo pensamiento se ha convertido en estrategia; este impulso muestra un disgusto por una cierta forma de autoconservación. Es un estremecimiento sensible ante el frío aliento de una realidad en la que el saber es poder y el poder es saber.

• An ideology critique that does not clearly accept its identity as satire can, however, easily be transformed from an instrument in the search for truth into one of dogmatism. All too often, it interferes with the capacity for dialogue instead of opening up new paths for it.

• As long as no more than a small minority are capable of reading and writing, universal alphabetization seems like a messianic project. Only once everyone has this ability does one notice the catastrophe that almost no one can do it properly.
