The Inhuman Reflections on Time by Jean-Francois Lyotard This major study explores the phenomenon of postmodernity and examines the philosophies of key thinkers such as Kant, Heidegger, Adorno, and Derrida. Lyotard argues that literature, philosophy, and the arts have a crucial role to play in understanding the complex relationships between modernity, progress, and humanity. In this thought-provoking work, Lyotard seeks to explain the difficult transition from modernity to postmodernity, and how we can bear witness to and make sense of these changes. A key text for anyone interested in philosophy and its relationship to literature and culture. 224 pages, paperback edition, published 1993.
