Thus opens this carefully nuanced and accessible collection of essays by one of the most important writer-philosophers of the 20th century, Jean-Francois Lyotard (1924-1998). First published in French in 1991 as \u003ci\u003eLectures d'enfance\u003c\/i\u003e, these essays have never been printed as a collection in English. In them, Lyotard investigates his idea of infantia, or the infancy of thought that resists all forms of development, either human or technological.\u003cbr\u003eEach essay responds to works by writers and thinkers who are central to cultural modernism, such as James Joyce, Franz Kafka, Hannah Arendt, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Sigmund Freud. This volume     with a new introduction and afterword by Robert Harvey and Kiff Bamford     contextualises Lyotard's thought and demonstrates his continued relevance today.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46629810405534,"sku":"UBD-9781350167346","price":46.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781350167346.jpg?v=1774221673","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781350167346","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
