METAFIZICA CONSUMULUI ŞI OMUL SOCIETĂŢII POSTINDUSTRIALE
PETAPHYSICS OF CONSUMPTION AND THE MAN OF THE POSTINDUSTRIAL SOCIETY

Summary/Abstract: Being a so-called forever rebel, the German philosopher Peter Sloterdik in the last chapter of the third volume of his trilogy “Spharen”, depicts the contours of the modern west civilization, that is of the world of abundance which tends to be spoiled striving for luxurious and dissolute way of life. He opposes those who write laments to poverty and misery – either because of conservativism or left radicalism. According to this philosopher there are so many laments to poverty and misery that they get in the way of understanding the reality. Peter Sloterdik writes about developed societies like Germany and USA and argues that statistics show that the number of poor people decreases to 10 or15 percent.
