«La condición postmoderna: Informe sobre el saber» is the philosophical essay by Jean-François Lyotard, published by Planeta Agostini in hardcover (137 pages).
Jean-François Lyotard examines knowledge in contemporary societies and argues that the grand narratives that legitimized it, such as progress or emancipation, have lost credibility. Science and culture fragment into diverse language games, where validity is decided by efficiency, performativity and difference.
This Spanish-language edition from 1993 is part of the Obras Maestras del Pensamiento Contemporáneo collection by Planeta Agostini.
Recommended for those approaching contemporary thought from philosophy, sociology or cultural theory.
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.
