ABSTRACT

The strength of Lyotard’s project is the way in which he unwaveringly chooses to say what cannot be said. He thrives on the difficulties engendered by such a paradox. He feels closer to the laughter of the sophist, to the pleasure that playing with reason, turning order around and pushing logic to its limits, can give. Lyotard deliberately chooses to abandon reason as a purveyor of knowledge and thus, turns his back on what we called the epistemological project.
