If You Have Never Thought Grey

Exploring the philosophical significance of the color grey, Peter Sloterdijk delves into its representation in art, culture, and history. He challenges the notion that philosophers should focus solely on traditional themes like ethics and metaphysics, suggesting instead that grey embodies complexity and ambiguity. Through references to Plato, Hegel, and Heidegger, he illustrates how grey symbolizes the interplay of light and shadow in human experience, serving as a metaphor for public opinion and moral uncertainty.
