The article tries to approach the non-systemic philosophy of the German thinker Peter Sloterdijk, the ‘black beast’ of current philosophy, from the idea of that his new Big Story (delivered fundamentally in this miscellany of philosophy of the history with philosophy of the technique that is Spheres) would constitute actually a kind of cocktail of different but cohabitants philosophies. This multiplicity of theories (spherical, immune, prosthetic, anthropotechnics, timotic) forms, in the facts, the same animal philosophy, which shows to Sloterdijk as one of the most influential representatives of the Nietzschean family. Together with this, the philosophy of Sloterdijk is presented itself as a new ontology (to say it well, as an ontogenesis of the inner space) whose essential component is the principle of information. However, it is necessary to understand his critique, rather than his post-liberal project, as a postmodern philosophy of the technique, whose key is the comprehension of the technology as destination inside the history of being. Finally, some ideas are decided a little more definitive in Sloterdijk: his political criticism as unmasking of the macrosphere of power (military, financial, journalistic, fiscal), his biotechnological offensive as a manifesto of a quinism historically rendered invisible by elite cynicism and, finally, that of the truth as an inessential concept to his psycho-political project.
