The Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge

"The Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge" by Jean-François Lyotard explores how the way we create and trust knowledge has changed in modern society. He argues that in the past, knowledge was judged by universal standards and used to support authority or progress. Today, information is more fragmented and influenced by various narratives, often driven by technology and media. Lyotard suggests that instead of overarching truths, we now navigate multiple, diverse perspectives, making knowledge more complex and decentralized. This shift challenges traditional ideas of certainty and objective understanding in our culture.
