Peter Sloterdijk, one of the most influential contemporary philosophers, is the guest on the new episode of Expresso's philosophy podcast, where he reflects on the relationship between magic, technology, and war. The German philosopher argues that the mechanisms that shape the modern world are a rationalised continuation of ancient magical impulses, and explores the concept of "telemalignity" to analyse how the capacity to act at a distance defines the human experience in the age of drones, missiles, and global technologies. The conversation was recorded live in English, in Cascais.
