The Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge (Theory and History of Literature, Vol 10)

Summary: A good intro to Postmodernism
Review: Yet Lyotard lacks the philosopher's rigorous approach to the problem he sets out to discuss. He is never clear as to what his 'Science" is which counters the grand narratives. He tries to posit a scientific method which is narrative free, but admits through a back door that it can be quite meaningless to imagine a science of this nature. Lyotard's strength is in his insights, not the clarifications he attempts.
