Lyotard and the Political is the first book to consider the full range of the political thought of the French philosopher Fran�ois Lyotard and its broader implications for an understanding of the political. James Williams clearly and carefully traces the development of Lyotard's thought from his early Marxist essays on the Algerian struggle for independence to his break with the thought of Marx and Freud. This is compared with Lyotard's later, highly influental writings on the politics of desire and his attempts to base a postmodern political discourse on the sublime. An indispensable work for all who are interested in modern continental philosophy, Lyotard and the Political offers the first systematic analysis of the political dimension of the work of one of the most controversial and influential philosophers of the twentieth century.

Seller's Description:
As New. This book provides a systematic analysis of the political implications of the work of the French philosopher; it traces the development of his thought from his early Marxist essays on the Algerian struggle to his break with Marx and Freud, and then to his later writings on the politics of desire and his influential attempts to base a postmodern political discourse on the sublime; it situates his thought in terms of the dominant political positions of his time, and explores the reasons for his loss of belief in revolutionary politics and its consequences (dark brown & oliver cover; a bright, clean, tight copy)
