Book Synopsis
Ashley Woodward demonstrates what a new generation of scholars are just discovering: that Lyotard''s incisive work is essential for current debates in the humanities. Lyotard''s ideas about the arts and the confrontations between humanist traditions and cutting-edge sciences and technologies are today known as ''posthumanism''. Woodward presents a series of studies to explain Lyotard''s specific interventions in information theory, new media arts and the changing nature of the human. He assesses their relevance and impact in relation to a number of important contemporary thinkers including Bernard Stiegler, Luciano Floridi, Quentin Meillassoux and Paul Virilio.
