Best known for his work "The Postmodern Condition", Jean-Francois
Lyotard is one of the leading figures in contemporary French
philosophy. This collection of articles offers an estimation and
critique of his work. While the various chapters deal with
different aspects of Lyotard's writings, they are all concerned
with the question of judgement. The importance to Lyotard of
judgement, and how it is to be judged, is a recurrent theme
throughout the entire range of his work. It is particularly evident
in his continuing engagement with the work of Kant. Lyotard's own
essay, "Sensus Communis", which opens this volume, investigates
through Kant the presuppositions of judgement. Other essays
variously consider how in his writings Lyotard has rendered
problematic existing forms of aesthetic, ethical, legal and
political judgement. This book should be of interest to
undergraduates, postgraduates and academics of philosophy, literary
theory, cultural studies and French studies.
