Описание: Establishes Lyotard as the most politically committed of contemporary sceptical thinkers
Analyses Lyotard's key concepts in terms of their political implications
Applies the 'little narrative' notion to current ideological struggles
Analyses the role played by relativism in contemporary political thought, particularly Lyotard's sustained attempts to reconcile relativism with value judgement

Stuart Sim explores how Lyotard's brand of pragmatism can provide a focus for political theory and action in our cultural climate, especially in light of the dramatic resurgence of right-wing extremism.
