Peter Sloterdijk: „Die Globalisierung war das letzte goldene Zeitalter des Liberalismus“

Peter Sloterdijk, a 78-year-old philosopher residing in the south of France, has published a highly acclaimed book titled "The Rise of Authoritarianism." In this work, he examines the tendencies of modern rulers to adopt brutal autocratic practices. The book, published in March, has been well-received, selling over 35,000 copies.

Sloterdijk, who was in Germany for three months to discuss the book, has won international recognition, including an appearance at the French Pantheon. In his recent interview, Sloterdijk emphasized the importance of prioritizing the weaknesses of democracy, the resurgence of geopolitics, and the impact of AI revolution, while remaining cautious of apocalyptic views.

He also mentioned the need for politicians to possess better psychological knowledge to counter growing proto-fascist sentiments.
