The Inhuman: Reflections on Time

"Extremely important for everyone interested in issues of (post)modern literature, art, and music."--Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, Stanford University"In this collection of 17 essays, all written or presented between 1980 and 1989, Lyotard addresses a variety of topics related to the transition from modernity to postmodernity. . . . Addressing issues of relevance to art, music, literature, and philosophy, Lyotard's collection will be of interest to students, scholars, and practitioners in each of these areas as well as to a general readership interested in aesthetic postmodernity and the avante-garde."--Choice
