"Jean-Francois Lyotard is one of the most important, and complex, French thinkers
of the twentieth century. Lyotard is best known in the English-speaking world for
The Postmodern Condition, and the multifaceted nature of his work has often been obscured
by its sometimes problematic association with the postmodern. His life refuses to
follow the clear trajectory common to academics in France: it stalls and hesitates,
with Lyotard's first 'career' consisting of fifteen years of militant Marxist political
engagement. Kiff Bamford traces this circuitous journey, unravelling the thrust of
Lyotard's main philosophical arguments, his struggle with thinking and his confrontation
with the task of writing and thinking philosophy in a different way. These all take
place within a series of very particular contexts: the Algerian war, an experimental
university established at Vincennes and a sustained engagement with the visual arts.
This is a compelling portrait of a challenging subject."--Title page verso
