The Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge
string
Book •
"'The Postmodern Condition' analyzes the state of knowledge in postmodern society.
Jean-François Lyotard argues that the grand narratives that once legitimized knowledge have lost their credibility.
He explores the implications of this loss for science, politics, and culture.
The book introduces the concept of the 'language game' to describe how knowledge is produced and validated within specific contexts.
Lyotard examines the rise of information technology and its impact on the dissemination and accessibility of knowledge.
He proposes a shift toward 'paralogy,' or the acceptance of multiple, localized narratives in place of universal truths, reflecting the diverse and fragmented nature of postmodern thought.
