Der Kontinent ohne Eigenschaften – Peter Sloterdijk über Europa

In the organizer's words:

What is Europe? There are many bon mots and doomsday diagnoses in circulation about the "Old World". People don't know what number to call to reach Europe, its inhabitants are decadent, the semi-continent that once colonized the "rest of the world" has now been absorbed by the rest, etc. However, as in Mark Twain's case, news of Europe's demise regularly proves to be greatly exaggerated. Nevertheless, Europeans are no longer sure of their own characteristics: "They don't know where they come from, let alone where the journey is going." With The Continent without Qualities, Peter Sloterdijk publishes his highly acclaimed lectures at the Collège de France. He opens a few bookmarks in the book Europe to provide orientation. The true Europe, according to Sloterdijk, can be found wherever creative passions have overtaken those of resentment.
