El imperativo estético: Escritos sobre arte
Sloterdijk aborda en el presente libro todos los géneros modernos de las artes, desde la música hasta la arquitectura, desde el uso de la luz hasta las artes vivas, desde el diseño hasta la tipografía. Transita por todos los campos de lo visible y lo invisible, de lo audible y lo inaudible, en un arco histórico que se extiende desde la Antigüedad hasta Hollywood. Cuando aplica su particular método de distanciamiento del discurso a la contemplación de obras y géneros artísticos, los objetos descritos se muestran súbitamente bajo una luz diferente, y con su despierto y combativo sentido de la actualidad nos conduce lejos, muy lejos de los caminos trillados del comentario artístico.
A lo largo de sus páginas se despliega la manera singularísima, a un tiempo jovial y seria, con que el gran filósofo alemán analiza los fenómenos estéticos más dispares, caracterizando lo estético del arte y de las artes
