Whether agreeing or disagreeing – no longer always for the same reasons as then – one feels again the excitement, the surprise, the admiration Jean-François Lyotard could not avoid to produce with his interlocutors, even his opponents. With time passing, his stature as a philosopher, a critic and a public intellectual endures and grows * Etienne Balibar, Anniversary Chair in Modern European Philosophy, Kingston University London, UK *\u003cbr\u003eFor philosophers: myriad ideas to plunder. For historians: a trove on late-twentieth century intellectuals. For artists: a multitude of provocations. For activists: bitter lessons and sweet encouragement. For Lyotard: precious testimony to a wild and sensitive mind * James Williams, Honorary Professor of Philosophy¸ Deakin University, Australia *\u003cbr\u003eThis book brings together many of Lyotard’s most important interviews and articles. Each chapter is accessibly written and the introduction is exemplary in giving the context of his works--a must have for those new to Lyotard as well as scholars of writings. * Peter Gratton, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Southeastern Louisiana University, USA *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eprelims\u003c\/i\u003e  \u003ci\u003epreface\u003c\/i\u003e  1.
