Lyotard: Right This Instant
Now here's an obscure sounding title: but this book by Roger Mourad (1997) is a gem for unpacking the story of Lyotard (particularly 'The Postmodern Condition') and his pomo philosophy of higher education (pp.28-37)
"The dynamic and experimental sense of inquiry implied by Lyotard emphasises inquiry as an intellectual activity that aims to undergo and produce change."
Just the short section on Lyotard has made me realise that SoM's concern with pragmatism is of the same quality as that displayed in a selection of postmodern - specifically, poststructuralist - conceptions of knowledge.
