About
Sloterdijk finds cynicism the dominant mode in contemporary culture, in personal and institutional settings. His book is less a history of the impulse than an investigation of its role in the postmodern 1970s and 80s. The work was originally published in German as Kritik der zynischen Vernuft, 2v. (1983, Suhrkamp Verlag). This is a paperbound reprint of the 1987 cloth edition (1585-3; $45.00). Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
