Jean-Francois Lyotard is one of Europe's leading philosophers, well
known for his work The Postmodern Condition. In this important new
study he develops his analysis of the phenomenon of postmodernity.
In a wide-ranging discussion the author examines the philosophy of
Kant, Heidegger, Adorno, and Derrida and looks at the works of
modernist and postmodernist artists such as Cezanne, Debussy, and
Boulez. Lyotard addresses issues such as time and memory, the
sublime and the avant-garde, and the relationship between
aesthetics and politics. Throughout his discussion he considers the
close but problematic links between modernity, progress, and
humanity, and the transition to postmodernity. Lyotard claims that
it is the task of literature, philosophy, and the arts, to bear
witness to and explain this difficult transition. This important
contribution to aesthetic and philosophical debates will be of
great interest to students in philosophy, literary, and cultural
theory and politics.
