Drawing on a multidisciplinary team of experts, the 168 entries in The Lyotard Dictionary explain all of his main concepts, contextualising these within his work as a whole and relating him to his contemporaries.
* 118 entries cover all of Lyotard’s concepts and concerns, from ‘Addressee’ and ‘Aesthetics’, through ‘I don't know what’ and ‘Is it happening?’ to ‘Unpresentable’ and ‘Writing’
* A further 50 ‘linking’ entries contextualise Lyotard within the wider intellectual currents of his time, from concepts such as Nazism and Memory to thinkers from Aristotle to Jean Baudrillard
Jean-François Lyotard’s postmodern thought is massively influential across a host of academic disciplines, from philosophy and the social sciences through to literary, media, and cultural studies.
