ABSTRACT
This chapter presents an analytical reconstruction of the paradigm of general immunology in the Spheres trilogy, focused mainly on originary intersubjectivity and immunology in the foam-world of contemporary society, before moving on, in the next section, to anthropotechnical practising. In the trilogy Sloterdijk asserts that “What recent philosophers referred to as ‘being-in-the-world’ first of all, and in most cases, means being-in-spheres,” that “living always means building spheres” and that spheres are “immune-systemically effective space creations”. Being-in-spheres thus involves existing with others inside a nurturing, meaning-rich, bounded, “relational” space of interiority, whereas – to skip quickly through the second volume – what “globalization” in the dominant economico-political sense of the term implies is “the indifference of a space in which no dwelling occurs”.
