“THE SPECTER OF CO-IMMUNISM”
Critical questions concerning Sloterdijk’s propositions to Anthropocene
Keywords:
Biopolitics, Community, Ecology, Spheres, Political Philosophy, ImmunityAbstract
This paper aims to raise some questions concerning the German philosopher Peter Sloterdijk’s propositions regarding Anthropocene, a debatable term that serves to define the epoch in which human being (a Western and Modern one, according to authors like Déborah Danowski and Eduardo Viveiros de Castro) made itself an agent of geological and climatic transformation. This debate is important because of Sloterdijk’s closeness with names such as Bruno Latour and Yuk Hui, authors that, in a more or less central manner, engage with such a problem. Here, firstly we will gather some of the main concepts of Sloterdijk’s recent work (sphere, immunity, homeotechnology) in order to analyze the ‘homeotechnological paradigm’ and the ‘co-immunism’ propositions, raising, at last, some relevant questions to the aforementioned propositions.
