Jacques Ranciere and Peter Sloterdijk Debate Aesthetics and Modernity

Synopsis
This podcast provides a chance to hear two leading continental thinkers and public intellectuals debating the aesthetic both as a way of understanding the modern world and as a problematic category within that world. In a genial confrontation between German and French traditions and modes of thought, Professor Rancière and Professor Sloterdijk assess the role of the aesthetic in the digitalised and globalised world. This podcast offers a good overview of some of the key ideas of the acclaimed thinkers, whose work connects philosophy, literature, history, art, politics, sociology and psychology.
