The Inhuman
Douban
Reflections on Time
Jean-FranCois Lyotard translator: Geoffrey Bennington / Rachel Bowlby
overview
In this major study, now available in paperback, Lyotard develops his analysis of the phenomenon of postmodernity, and examines the philosophy of Kant, Heidegger, Adorno and Derrida. Lyotard claims that it is the task of literature, philosophy and the arts to bear witness to and explain the links between modernity, progress and humanity, and the difficult transition to postmodernity.
