Description

Peter Sloterdijk's monumental Spheres trilogy begins with Bubbles: Microspherology, an investigation into humanity's engagement with intimate spaces. Spanning over 2,500 pages, this three-volume work reinterprets Western metaphysics as a spatial and immunological project. Sloterdijk synthesizes the spatial theories of various philosophers, from Aristotle to Walter Benjamin, to create a morphology of shared dwelling. The book includes a wide array of images that offer a visual "parallel narrative" to his exploration of bubbles. This first volume is an "archeology of the intimate," providing a general theory of the structures that allow couplings. Written over the course of a decade, Bubbles: Microspherology is now available in English translation from Semiotext(e). The Spheres trilogy will be completed with volumes II and III, Globes and Foam, in the coming seasons.
