Description: The acclaimed philosopher Peter Sloterdijk offers a magisterial and profound investigation into the vicissitudes of historical change and the nature of modernity.
Review Quotes: Sloterdijk's The Terrible Children of Modernity is in many respects not only his most important book; it is also a truly prophetic one. In his historically dazzling "genealogy" of the antigenealogical obsessions of modernity as a whole, Sloterdijk enacts with eye-popping panache Nietzsche's famous quip, "nihilism stands at the door."--Carl Raschke, author of Force of God: Political Theology and the Crisis of Liberal Democracy
