Imagined societies : a critique of immigrant integration in Western Europe
\"In many countries in Western Europe, the demand for immigrant integration has inevitably raised questions about the \"societies\" into which immigrants are asked to integrate. Imagined Societies critically intervenes in debates on immigrant integration and multiculturalism in Western Europe. Schinkel argues that the term \"multiculturalism\" is not used primarily to describe a type of policy or political philosophy in countries such as the Netherlands, France, Germany or Belgium, but rather as a rhetorical device that promotes demands for \"integration\". He analyses how such demands are ways of imagining the very idea of a \"host society\" as \"modern\", \"secular\" and \"enlightened\". Starting from debates in social theory on social imaginaries, and drawing on public debates on citizenship, secularism and sexuality, and on the social science of measuring immigrant integration, this book presents a highly original study of immigrant integration that challenges our understanding of the concept of society\"-- Provided by publisher.

In Medias Res
Sloterdijk has in recent years grown into one of Germany’s most influential thinkers. His work, which is extremely relevant for philosophers, scientists of art and culture, sociologists, political scientists and theologists, is only now gradually being translated in English. This book makes his work accessible to a wider audience by putting it to work in orientation towards current issues. Sloterdijk’s philosophy moves from a Heideggerian project to think ‘space and time’ to a Diogenes-inspired ‘kynical’ affirmation of the body and a Deleuzian ontology of network-spheres. In a range of accessible and clearly written chapters, this book discusses the many aspects of this thought.

In verschillende, helder geschreven hoofdstukken bespreken de auteurs de vele aspecten van Sloterdijks rijke filosofie.
