The master's thesis deals primarily with the critique of the cynical mind with a focus on the works of Peter Sloterdijk. In his master's thesis, the author explores cynicism and its social implications. It presents various ideological frameworks and their value consequences, and explores the origins and response of cynicism to the current situation. He describes some modern political theories and their contribution to value ideals and political-social reality. It further focuses his research on the individual and his perception of the world and the limitations and characteristics with which an individual is surrounded through his feelings and emotions. To get out of the cycle in which, in his opinion, modern society has found itself, the author seeks an answer in personality as an ideal and explores what this would mean for the individual. A civilization torn between a multitude of opinions and ideas, a civilization without a rudder and sailors without a compass. What can an individual do in this environment? What is it that changes him from a cynical observer to an instrument of hope. A realist who is aware of his position in society, country and time.
