POSTMODERNISM- THE PARADOX OF THE FUTURE
POSTMODERNISM- THE PARADOX OF THE FUTURE

Summary/Abstract: Jean François Lyotard applies a new methodological approach to the expressions of postmodern thinking via a palpable binder of experience. The love for both knowledge and wisdom will plunge readers into a universe where writers and philosophers will be reborn by harnessing diverse artistic horizons. Interpretative innovation will gradually reveal itself, familiarizing ourselves with a modern Plato or a postmodern Aristotle. To put it in other words, Jean François Lyotard conducts a comparative analysis between the visions and concepts of ancient philosophers and the characteristics of postmodernist society. The father of postmodernism builds bridges among philosophy, spirit, education, childhood and the capacity of self-taught experienced by both teachers and reformers. He proves to be a subtle observer of the human being, whom he encourages to attain higher goals, that encompass both spiritual and cognitive growth during a literary journey that cherishes the most important role of children, that of philosopher. Would adults and philosophers be able to preserve their inner child defined by desire for knowledge, playful spirit and emotional candor?
