Lecture 2: Lyotard, Postmodernity and Posthumanism

In this lecture, I will provide you with some background context to Jean-Francois Lyotard’s philosophy, as well as look at what is meant by postmodernism, and more specifically, I will explain Lyotard’s The Postmodern Condition. This latter much misunderstood text is crucial for understanding the theoretical features of the posthuman condition.
