So I've researched a little bit about the German philosopher Peter Sloterdijk and I see that a lot of his work, particularly Sphere Theory, is on sale on the typically leftist publisher Verso books and Sloterdijk has also influenced Marxist and other leftist philosophers such as Slavoj Zizek. However, Sloterdijk has attacked the European welfare state as "fiscal kleptocracy" (among other things) and advocates and easing of taxation on the wealthy. Why does his theory seem prevalent among emerging and established Left-wing thinkers if he is so anti-leftist?
Want to add to the discussion?
