In Critique of Cynical Reason, Sloterdijk argues that the Enlightenment rational critique of everything ended up giving birth to our current cynical age. He thinks that the antidote to this dangerous strain of egoistic nihilism is the return of Greek cynic philosophy, an ironic and satirical critique rooted in a practical/existential detached niilism. Sloterdijk defines cynicism as ‘enlightened false consciousness’, a sensibility which is ‘well off and miserable at the same time’, able to function in the workaday world yet assailed by doubt and paralysis. Oscillating provocatively between Frankfurt and Paris and between a number of different styles and modes of expression, the Critique of Cynical Reason is a philosophical pastiche which offers, in the words of Andreas Huyssen, ‘a postmodernism of resistance.’.
