The Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge

The Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge

by Jean-François Lyotard

Published for the first time: 4/1/1979

144 pages, Paperback

Genres: Theory, Sociology, Science, Politics, France, Nonfiction, Philosophy

This book explores science and technology, makes connections between these epistemic, cultural, and political trends, and develops profound insights into the nature of our post-modernity. Many definitions of postmodernism focus on its nature as the aftermath of the modern industrial age when technology developed. This book extends that analysis to postmodernism by looking at the status of science, technology, and the arts, the significance of technocracy, and the way the flow of information is controlled in the Western world.
