Peter Sloterdijk is one of the most important contemporary German philosophers. He has taught Philosophy and Aesthetics at the University of Karlsruhe. In his essays - in particular in the philosophic anthropology outlined in Spheres - art and its social dimensions play a role of major significance.
The author of The Aesthetic Imperative gives a talk on questions relating to contemporary art, starting from the Damien Hirst's exhibitions at Palazzo Grassi and Punta della Dogana
