The Emperor's New Clothes

or what I dislike about Peter Sloterdijk.
He hardly ever explains any of his theories and establishes them by stating that some principle or the other is generally known. Introducing a sort of general 'we all' who seem to know it all - of course - and thus it would be evident that a potential enquirer does not belong or worse isn't inaugurated, probably because of lack of learning. It's a quite patronizing and manipulative attitude and this is exactly the point where Derrida praises American universities: Elaborate!



And what a flirtatious gaze at the end, but then after all he was a ladies' man. If I can believe my friend's mother - right to the end.
