ABSTRACT
This chapter analyze few central aspects of Peter Sloterdijk’s work, trying to show how a constitutive deficiency in the definition of otherness can be highlighted in relation to each of them. According to Sloterdijk, this way of understanding technique is the one that has most imposed itself in the Western world, making a form of logical dualism effective, which in turn supports an ontology of the monistic sort. In 1993, the same year when Im selben Boot was published, Sloterdijk published Weltfremdheit, a book that can be considered the logical prosecution of the analysis first found in the collection of ancient Gnostic writings he co-edited with Thomas Macho, Weltrevolution der Seele. It is now possible to return to the concept of homeotechnics and integrate it with our new understanding of anthropotechnics: Even where it is initially employed as egotistically and regionally as any conventional technology it must draw on co-intelligent, co-informative strategies.
