Zusammenfassung:Establishes Lyotard as the most politically committed of contemporary sceptical thinkersAnalyses Lyotard's key concepts in terms of their political implicationsApplies the 'little narrative' notion to current ideological strugglesAnalyses the role played by relativism in contemporary political thought, particularly Lyotard's sustained attempts to reconcile relativism with value judgementIt is Jean François Lyotard's political focus that singles him out from his poststructuralist and postmodernist contemporaries.
