Peter Sloterdijk

Star philosopher and best-selling author Peter Sloterdijk has sparked many a controversy with his books and articles. Now he has written an erotic novel: The Schelling Project.

Two women, three men, all of them already getting on in years, apply to the German Research Society for funding: to study nothing less than the evolutionary development of female sexuality. The novel begins with the rejection of the proposal, and erotic encounters are the lively consequence. Irony and directness enter into a surprising liaison in this philosophizing writer and literary philosopher. So much for the foreplay. Further revelations and details then live on stage.
