In the last three decades, Postmodernism has emerged as a significant cultural, political and intellectual force that has left unyielding critiques of architecture, selfhood, knowledge formation, ethics, history, economics and politics in its wake. While there are countless texts today that chronicle the advent and current status of postmodernism, most of the primary and historically significant accounts of postmodernism took place in scholarly journals long before the publication of these books. Until now, these pertinent and historically necessary texts remain uncollected. This title aims...

Jean-Francois Lyotard's importance to modern philosophy cannot be overstated. Often associated with the concept of postmodernism, Lyotard was a central figure in the 'theory debates' during the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. His writings across the disciplines strongly influenced the current shape of contemporary continental philosophy and critical theory, with his posthumously published books and essays having a significant impact on current scholarly debates.
This three-volume set is a collection of key critical responses by leading scholars to the philosophical and theoretical writings...

In this critical examination of the role of the imagination in the modern and postmodern periods, Victor E. Taylor looks at the 'fable' as a narrative form that addresses the ultimate questions of how to live and why. He assesses various literary theories and styles in the wake of postmodernism to reveal the ways in which fable-style narrative can be a meaningful genre for addressing traditional and post-traditional religious, ethical, and epistemological concerns. In the process, Taylor draws on key figures across the humanities--from Mircea Eliade and Claude Levi-Strauss, Paul Ricoeur...
