A very important book. The essays it brings together attest to the vitality of American thought...This book announces that the stakes in the question 'what is postmodernity?' are being, and will continue to be, approached, elaborated, and disputed in and by a new international intellectual community, whose sole precedent is called 'The Enlightenment.' And, now as then, this community is a community of philosophers. -- Jean-Francois Lyotard
