Beskrivning
It is Jean François Lyotard’s political focus that singles him out from his poststructuralist and postmodernist contemporaries. He is invariably 'thinking politics': finding ways of translating philosophical thought into a basis for political action. Stuart Sim explores how Lyotard’s brand of pragmatism can provide a focus for political theory and action in our cultural climate, especially in light of the dramatic resurgence of right-wing extremism.

Recensioner i media

It is genuinely intellectually refreshing and invigorating to see Lyotard treated with the urgent seriousness that Sim brings to his work. With an impressive grasp of the entirety of Lyotard’s philosophical politics, Sim gives us the opportunity, perhaps for the first time, to understand Lyotard’s continued pertinence for anyone who would be both critical and political.
