«La condición postmoderna: Informe sobre el saber» is the philosophical essay by Jean-François Lyotard, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (120 pages, in Spanish).
Essay addressing the problem of legitimacy in informatized societies: what allows us today to consider a statement true or a law just. Lyotard opposes modern grand narratives to the postmodern condition marked by incredulity toward metanarratives and by legitimation through language games, performativity, and paralogy.
The work is structured in fourteen sections and this edition is the ninth in the Teorema. Serie mayor collection.
For readers of contemporary philosophy, critical theory, and cultural studies who wish to delve into the questioning of grand narratives and postmodern thought.
Jean-François Lyotard was a French philosopher, sociologist, and literary theorist. His interdisciplinary discourse spans such topics as epistemology and communication, the human body, modern art and postmodern art, literature and critical theory, music, film, time and memory, space, the city and landscape, the sublime, and the relation between aesthetics and politics. He is best known for his articulation of postmodernism after the late 1970s and the analysis of the impact of postmodernity on the human condition. Lyotard was a key personality in contemporary continental philosophy and authored 26 books and many articles. He was a director of the International College of Philosophy founded by Jacques Derrida, François Châtelet, Jean-Pierre Faye, and Dominique Lecourt.
