Summary outline of Jean-Francois Lyotard’s The Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge, with criticisms drawn from Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy.
The summary outline and criticisms offered here were prepared for a summer 2016 reading group, for discussion, for educational purposes.
For a more formal presentation of these ideas see Douglas Low, “Merleau-Ponty and Postmodernism,” Phenomenological Inquiry 32 (2008): 63-92, from which the outline draws. The outline is primarily a mixture of direct quotes and paraphrased statements.
