«Hay que mirar, pues, en el rayo de la catástrofe si se quiere apreciar lo que está realmente en liza en el asunto del ser y del hombre. “El sol y la muerte no se pueden mirar fijamenteâ€, se dice en un conocido texto de La Rochefoucauld. Nuestra mirada no puede detenerse, fijamente, ni en el sol ni en la muerte. Según Heidegger, cabrÃa añadir que tampoco puede fijarse ni en el hombre ni en el claro.» Las conversaciones del filósofo Peter Sloterdijk con el antropólogo Hans-Jürgen Heinrichs, agrupadas bajo el tÃtulo de El sol y la muerte, no sólo lanzan una atrevida mirada a nuestro tiempo eclipsado, son también una inmejorable introducción a la obra y el pensamiento del autor de Esferas.
