"An epic project in both size and purview, Peter Sloterdijk's three-volume, 2,500-page Spheres is the late-twentieth-century bookend to Heidegger's Being and Time. Rejecting the century's predominant philosophical focus on temporality, Sloterdijk, a self-described "student of the air," reinterprets the history of Western metaphysics as an inherently spatial and immunological project, from the discovery of self (bubble) to the exploration of world (globe) to the poetics of plurality (foam). Exploring macro- and micro-space from the Greek agora to the contemporary urban apartment, Sloterdijk is able to synthesize, with immense erudition, the spatial theories of Aristotle, René Descartes, Gaston Bachelard, Walter Benjamin, and Georges Bataille into a morphology of shared, or multipolar, dwelling-identifying the question of being as one bound up with the aerial technology of architectonics and anthropogenesis."---- Source other than Library of Congress

Deze trilogie duikt in de verborgen ruimtes van samenleven die de menselijke ervaring vormgeven. Van het intieme comfort van de baarmoeder tot de uitgestrekte systemen van naties en staten, onderzoekt de serie hoe mensen een toevluchtsoord zoeken en vaak niet vinden. Het onderzoekt de diepgaande verbinding tussen onze innerlijke crises en het uiteenvallen van externe structuren die we als vanzelfsprekend beschouwen. Dit is een filosofische reis naar de essentie van het menselijk bestaan en onze zoektocht naar verblijf.
