"Many write about the climate emergency. But no one has formulated a theory for it that is derived as originally as Peter Sloterdijk" (Handelsblatt). In his new book Die Reue des Prometheus. Von der Gabe des Feuers zur globalen Brandstiftung, the master thinker examines how we use fire, coal and oil. His finding: Modern humanity can be considered a collective of arsonists.
Peter Sloterdijk meets Robert Habeck (Wer wir sein könnten), philosophy graduate and Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, who as a politician must respond to this scenario with constructive solutions. The two talk about our devastating use of fossil fuels and how a possible demise of the world in fire can be prevented, and whether Prometheus, who according to myth brought fire to earth, would regret his gift today.
Mod.: Armen Avanessian (“Konflikt”)
