Peter Sloterdijk on the Enemies of Truth
One may come to different assessments of the writings of Peter Sloterdijk. As far as his assessment of errors and the role of convictions is concerned, I can only agree with him.
“For many years I have repeatedly bent over the phenomenon of convictions and have found the hypothesis formulated by Nietzsche confirmed, according to which convictions are worse enemies of truth than errors. And I believe we live in a very strongly conviction-driven form of reality.”
– Philosopher Peter Sloterdijk in “I am an extremist of disillusionment”, interview in The Pioneer with Gabor Steingart (editor The Pioneer), February 17, 2023
