Du musst dein Leben andern
Book • 2014
In 'Du mußt dein Leben ändern', Peter Sloterdijk delves into the concept of 'anthropotechnics', which refers to techniques of individual and collective self-transformation.
The book examines human life through the lens of networks of 'discipline' rather than power struggles.
It also explores the role of goal-oriented culture, self-help, and the drive for self-perfection in contemporary society.
The title is inspired by the final line of Rainer Maria Rilke's poem 'Archaic Torso of Apollo'.
Sloterdijk discusses the evolution of human beings over thousands of years and speculates on future directions, emphasizing the need for continuous self-transformation and the pursuit of 'vertical tension' in various forms.
