书籍简介

本书深入涉及诸多主题：人的身体、现代主义和后现代主义文学艺术、哲学话语、时间与空间、美学与政治的关系等。作者着重考察了现代性、进步和人性的复杂关系，并分析了这些概念是如何随着转向后现代而发生变化的。作者坚信，文学、哲学和艺术承担了见证和解释这一复杂转变的任务。

Jean-Francois Lyotard is one of Europe's leading philosophers, well known for his work The Postmodern Condition. In this important new study he develops his analysis of the phenomenon of postmodernity.

In a wide-ranging discussion the author examines the philosophy of Kant, Heidegger, Adorno, and Derrida and looks at the works of modernist and postmodernist artists such as Cezanne, Debussy, and Boulez. Lyotard addresses issues such as time and memory, the sublime and the avant-garde, and the relationship between aesthetics and politics. Throughout his discussion he considers the close but problematic links between modernity, progress, and humanity, and the transition to postmodernity. Lyotard claims that it is the task of literature, philosophy, and the arts, to bear witness to and explain this difficult transition.

This important contribution to aesthetic and philosophical debates will be of great interest to students in philosophy, literary, and cultural theory and politics.
