Jean-François Lyotard citáty

Jean-François Lyotard bol francúzsky filozof a literárny teoretik.

Ako filozof bol hlavný predstaviteľ filozofického postmodernizmu alebo postmodernej filozofie. Pod titulom postmoderna formuluje ako základný problém súčasnosti neriešiteľnosť sporu heterogénnych typov diskurzov, spôsobov vedenia a životných foriem, a snaží sa v „relektúre“ moderných filozofov ako Kant a Wittgenstein vyvinúť filozofiu, ktorá by dokázala čeliť oným rozporom.

Podľa Lyotarda je postmoderná situácia daná zlyhaním moderného projektu emancipácie ľudstva, pričom predpoklady adekvátnej reakcie na túto situáciu tkvejú v avantgardách. Lyotard podáva vehementnú obhajobu predvojnových avantgárd. Wikipedia

Jean-François Lyotard: Citáty v angličtine

“I define postmodern as incredulity towards metanarratives.”

“While we talk, the sun is getting older. It will explode in 4.5 billion years. … In comparison everything else seems insignificant. Wars, conflicts, political tension, shifts in opinion, philosophical debates, even passions—everything’s dead already if this infinite reserve from which you now draw energy to defer answers, if in short thought as a quest, dies out with the sun. … The inevitable explosion to come, the one that’s always forgotten in your intellectual ploys, can be seen in a certain way as coming before the fact to render these ploys … futile. … In 4.5 billions years there will arrive the demise of your phenomenology and your utopian politics, and there’ll be no one there to toll the death knell or hear it. It will be too late to understand that your passionate, endless questioning always depended on a “life of the mind.” … Thought borrows a horizon and orientation, the limitless limit and the end without end it assumes, from the corporeal, sensory, emotional and cognitive experience of a quite sophisticated but definitely earthly existence. With the disappearance of the earth, thought will have stopped—leaving that disappearance absolutely unthought of. … The death of the sun is a death of mind. … There’s no sublation or deferral if nothing survives. … The sun, our earth, and your thought will have been no more than a spasmodic state of energy, an instant of established order, a smile on the surface of matter in a remote corner of the cosmos. … Human death is included in the life of the mind. Solar death implies an irreparably exclusive disjunction between death and thought: if there’s death, then there’s no thought.”
