Description
The second volume in Peter Sloterdijk's Esferas trilogy explores the history of globalisation through the lens of morphological images. From the Greeks' representation of the universe as a sphere, to the pre-modern empires' use of globes, Sloterdijk argues that our understanding of globalisation has been shaped by these visual metaphors. The author contends that our current perception of globalisation is limited by a form of myopia, and that a new era of globalisation is emerging as a result of technological advancements. This second volume in the Esferas trilogy delves into the philosophical foundations of this new era, tracing its roots back to ancient Greek philosophy and exploring its implications for our understanding of space and relationships. Through a detailed examination of historical events and philosophical ideas, Sloterdijk sheds light on the true nature of globalisation, from the geometric representation of the sky in ancient Greece to the modern era's virtual connections.
