Jean-Francois Lyotard (1924-1998) was one of the most important
French philosophers of the Twentieth Century. His impact has been
felt across many disciplines: sociology; cultural studies; art
theory and politics. This volume presents a diverse selection of
interviews, conversations and debates which relate to the five
decades of his working life, both as a political militant,
experimental philosopher and teacher. Including hard-to-find
interviews and previously untranslated material, this is the first
time that interviews with Lyotard have been presented as a
collection. Key concepts from Lyotard's thought - the differend,
the postmodern, the immaterial - are debated and discussed across
different time periods, prompted by specific contexts and
provocations. In addition there are debates with other thinkers,
including Emmanuel Levinas and Jacques Derrida, which may be less
familiar to an Anglophone audience. These debates and interviews
help to contextualise Lyotard, highlighting the importance of Marx,
Freud, Kant and Wittgenstein, in addition to the Jewish thought
which accompanies the questions of silence, justice and presence
that pervades Lyotard's thinking.
