"Peter Sloterdijk attempts rather impressively what many academic writers desperately seek and frequently fail to achieve: he writes a highly relevant and incisive analysis of the current state of world affairs by analyzing the role of anger in contemporary global conflicts." — Ulrich Baer, New York University, and author of Spectral Evidence: The Photography of Trauma

"A brilliant and conceptually rich analysis of the influence of rage on the development of Western Culture." — Publishers Weekly

"An impressive, wide-ranging examination of rage in Western civilization. . . . Highly recommended." — Choice

"Peter Sloterdijk is one of contemporary philosophy's most provocative and productive thinkers and writers. The originality, scope, and conceptual athleticism of his work together with his many extra-academic appearances confront us with a genuine philosophical event." — Sjoerd van Tuinen, Erasmus University Rotterdam
