Peter Sloterdijk Quotes
The De-spiritualization Of Asceticisms Is Probably The Event In The Current Intellectual History Of Mankind That Is The Most Comprehensive And, Because Of Its Large Scale, The Hardest To Perceive, Yet At Once The Most Palpable And Atmospherically Powerful. Its Counterpart Is The Informalization Of Spirituality - Accompanied By Its Commercialization In The Corresponding Subcultures. The Threshold Values For These Two Tendencies Provide The Intellectual Landmarks For The Twentieth Century: The First Tendency Is Represented By Sport, Which Has Become A Metaphor For Achievement As Such, And The Second By Popular Music, That Devotio Postmoderna Which Covers The Lives Of Contemporary Individuals With Unpredictable Flashes Of Inner Emergency.
