Du mußt dein Leben ändern

In his plea for the expansion of the zone of the individual as well as society, Peter Sloterdijk designs a fundamental and fundamentally new anthropology. The core of his science of the human being is the insight of the self-formation of everything human. Its activities have an incessant effect on itself: work on the worker, communication on the communicator … It is explicitly people who practice and rehearse who embody this mode of existence most clearly: farmers, workers, warriors, writers, yogis, music virtuosos and models. Their rehearsal schedules and peak performances are brought together in this book for a pleasurable and instructive read about the practice required to be human.
