Annotation:
The Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge by Jean François Lyotard is the most important and thorough theoretical work on postmodern issues, of which the introduction is an important guide to the understanding of the book as it epitomizes the author’s basic thoughts and outlines the book’s contents. However, the difficulty arises from its concise style and heavy use of technologies which pose an obstacle to an accurate and thorough understanding. Therefore, the article offers a detailed interpretation of the basic ideas, historical events and backgrounds as well as technologies in the introduction as so to reveal the accurate meanings and highlight its far-reaching theoretical significance.
Keywords:
postmodern, knowledge, legitimating, metanarratives, crisis
