In this sense, the panorama of trends outlined by Lyotard had been developing, at the level of the basic conditions for the production of knowledge and technology, since the scientific leaps that occurred at the turn of the 19th century. The interpretative framework developed in \u003cem\u003e*The Postmodern Condition*\u003c\/em\u003e is faithful to the essence of Hegelian-Marxist historical dialectics. That is, it analyzes how a succession of small quantitative transformations ultimately determines a qualitative leap, a change of era—from the modern to the postmodern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThis edition brings a significant new feature: It corrects the title, reestablishing strict correspondence with the original. Lyotard wrote a book about the postmodern condition, not about the \"postmodern.\" In the 1980s, speaking of \"postmodern\" as something ready-made and finished was a symptom of a fetishistic, \"New Age\" approach that completely contradicted the spirit of Lyotard's text. The philosopher was deeply irritated by this type of appropriation of his thought, quite common among North American \"postmodernist\" intellectuals. Much of what Lyotard wrote later on the subject was intended to demarcate his own position. He was never an apologist for postmodernity. On the contrary, over time, he became one of its most furious critics, in the field of aesthetic questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003e*The Postmodern Condition\u003c\/em\u003e *, Lyotard sought to expose, in a primarily descriptive manner, the objective assumptions that allowed us to speak of a radical transformation in the way knowledge is produced, distributed, and, above all, legitimized. Lyotard was always the most eclectic of the philosophers of 1968, but what emerges from these pages, far beyond Kantian and Marxist criticisms, is the skeptical and pragmatic perspective that has come to dominate much of Western thought in recent years. In \u003cem\u003e*The Postmodern Condition\u003c\/em\u003e *, this perspective translates into the famous thesis of the end of metanarratives of legitimization of knowledge and politics, which signifies the loss of attraction for the high-sounding ideals of classical modernity. Lyotard's version of contemporary pragmatism, however, was anything but conformist or liberal. By proposing what he called a general agonisticity of discourses, Lyotard remained faithful to his militant past, both in this and in all his books.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\"Lyotard presciently concludes that knowledge in post-industrial society becomes the main bottleneck for the development of peripheral countries. Hence, it can be assumed, contrary to what is commonly heard among us, that the gap between developed and developing countries will tend to widen further in the future. To speak today of a single global economy is nothing more than a rather indiscreet way of legitimizing multiple and previously unsuspected forms of injustice. To also believe that knowledge circulates transparently when driven by international capital is a despicable truism.\" – from the afterword by Silviano Santiago\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159258939644,"sku":"9786558470229","price":59.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/d0247ca281033a93b77f6b8510ad244f.jpg?v=1778318106"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/jean-francois-lyotard.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
