In his book on acrobatic anthropology “You must change your life”, Sloterdijk cites a Rilke verse about the Apollo’s archaic torso: Du mußt dein Leben ändern, but adjoining in a enigmatic way the exclamation mark. This final mark is sealing the imperative mode, a “absolute verticality” that in this graphic sign is referring to a top-down hierarchy. Sloterdijk adopts the verticality as a cipher of value, and so the necessity to use transcendence as the only way of change. My brief paper deals just with this stake.

Abstract
In his book on acrobatic anthropology “You must change your life”, Sloterdijk cites a Rilke verse about the Apollo’s archaic torso: Du mußt dein Leben ändern, but adjoining in a enigmatic way the exclamation mark. This final mark is sealing the imperative mode, a “absolute verticality” that in this graphic sign is referring to a top-down hierarchy. Sloterdijk adopts the verticality as a cipher of value, and so the necessity to use transcendence as the only way of change. My brief paper deals just with this stake.File in questo prodotto:
