Description
The Inhuman Reflections on Time by Jean-François Lyotard In this thought-provoking study, Jean-François Lyotard explores the phenomenon of postmodernity, examining the work of influential philosophers and artists. He considers the relationship between aesthetics and politics, as well as issues such as time and memory, the sublime and the avant-garde. Lyotard's analysis draws on a wide range of sources, including Kant, Heidegger, Adorno, and Derrida, as well as modernist and postmodernist artists. Throughout his discussion, he grapples with the challenges of modernity and progress, and the transition to postmodernity. This book is an important contribution to debates in philosophy, literary theory, and cultural politics. Lyotard argues that literature, philosophy, and the arts have a crucial role to play in bearing witness to and explaining this complex transition. As such, "The Inhuman Reflections on Time" will be of great interest to scholars and students in these fields.
