In Globes¿the second, and longest, volume in Peter Sloterdijk¿s celebrated magnum opus Spheres trilogy¿the author attempts nothing less than to uncover the philosophical foundations of the political history¿the history of humanity¿of the last two thousand years. The first, well-received volume of the author¿s Spheres trilogy, Bubbles, dealt with microspheres: the fact that individuals, from the fetal stage to childhood, are never alone, because they always incorporate the Other into themselves and align themselves with it. Peter Sloterdijk tells here the true story of globalization: from the geometrization of the sky in Plato and Aristotle to the circumnavigation of the last orb¿the earth¿by ships, capital, and signals.
