OverviewLyotard was on the most important social thinkers of the last thrity years. He has some claim to being the father of postmodernism, and his work raises many political and ethical questions that continue to resonate throughout the social sciences. This impressive collection provides a comprehensive guide to Lyotard's writings and achievement. Lyotard was already 55 when his most famous book, The Condition of Postmodernity, was published. The SAGE collection, edited by a noted scholar on modern critical French thought, provides an opportunity to assess the integrity of Lyotard's thought and to contextualize it in terms of intellectual origins and responses. The book will be of interest to social theorists and anyone interested in the recent history of ideas.
