"The Postmodern Condition: A Report On Knowladge"

The Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge by Jean-François Lyotard explores the transformation of knowledge in the postmodern era, emphasizing its shift from grand narratives to more fragmented, localized forms. Lyotard argues that in a postmodern society, scientific and philosophical knowledge can no longer claim universal truth, as trust in these metanarratives has eroded. Instead, knowledge is increasingly seen as a tool for power and social control. This shift, according to Lyotard, marks the decline of modernity and the rise of a more diverse, relativistic understanding of truth.
