Lyotard and the Inhuman Condition: Reflections on Nihilism, Information and Art

By (author) Ashley Woodward

| on special |

normal price: R 4 188.95

Price: R 3 979.95

| book description |

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.
