Peter Sloterdijk retrata algunos temperamentos filosóficos desde los angeles Antigüedad hasta el siglo XX y abre un nuevo acceso a los grandes maestros de l. a. filosofía. «El título de l. a. presente colección alude a l. a. conocida sentencia de Fichte de que los angeles filosofía que uno elige depende del tipo de personality que se es. Con ello quería decir que las almas serviles se deciden por un sistema naturalista que justifica su servilismo, mientras que las personas de mentalidad orgullosa se aferran a un sistema de libertad. Esta observación sigue siendo ahora tan verdadera como siempre. Espero haber mostrado con los breves estudios aquí reunidos que l. a. escala de los temperamentos filosóficos va mucho más allá de l. a. oposición entre tipos cobardes y orgullosos. Es tan extensa como el alma iluminada por el trademarks, cuyos límites, afirmaba Heráclito, resultan imposibles de alcanzar, por mucho que se l. a. recorra.» Peter Sloterdijk
