The Lyotard Reader is a collection of Jean-Francois
Lyotard's most important and significant papers to date. While they
are all written from within philosophy, they seek to address
subjects as wide-ranging as film, painting (Adami, Francken,
Newman), psychoanalysis, Judaism and politics. The originality of
Lyotard's work means that it can not be readily situated within any
one philosophical tradition. Instead he returns philosophy itself
to debates across a range of areas and, in so doing, redefines the
philosophical enterprise.
A number of chapters in The Lyotard Reader appear for the first time in English. This is the most comprehensive collection available of Lyotard's work, work has profoundly influenced debates on the Enlightenment, on modernity, on postmodernity, on the transmission f information, on literary theory and on philosophy.
