Routledge Rereading Jean-Francois Lyotard - Philosophy Essays

Explore the impact of Jean-Francois Lyotard's late philosophical works with this collection of essays from Routledge. This book examines the relevance of Lyotard's thought for contemporary theoretical debates by focusing on his writings produced between 1990 and 1998. These essays look at how Lyotard revisited and expanded upon his earlier ideas. The text covers a wide range of specific themes including affect, aesthetics, and the works of Andre Malraux. Readers will find analysis on topics such as St Paul, nihilism, infancy, space, and writing. This volume provides a way to understand the largely undiscussed late period of Lyotard's career and how it contributes to modern theory and social science discussions.
