„I define postmodern as incredulity towards metanarratives.“
— Jean-François Lyotard, The Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge
p. xiv
„There’s a necessity for physical experience and a recourse to exemplary cases of bodily ascesis to understand and make understood a type of emptying of the mind, an emptying that is required if the mind is to think. This obviously has nothing to do with tabula rasa, with what Descartes (vainly) wanted to be a starting from scratch on the part of knowing thought.“
— Jean-François Lyotard
p. 296
„Science has always been in conflict with narratives. Judged by the yeardstick of science, the majority of them prove to be fables. But to the extend that science does not restrict itself to starting useful regularities and seeks truth, it is obliged to legitimate the rules of its own game.“
— Jean-François Lyotard

„Philosophy is possible only because the material ensemble called “man” is endowed with very sophisticated software. But also, this software, human language, is dependent on the condition of the hardware. Now: the hardware will be consumed in the solar explosion, taking philosophical thought with it (along with all other thought) as it goes up in flames. So the problem of the technological sciences can be stated as follows: how can we provide this software with a hardware that is independent of the conditions of life on earth? That is: how can we make thought without a body possible?“
— Jean-François Lyotard
p. 291
„The decline of narrative can be seen as an effect of the blossoming of techniques and technologies since the Second World War, Which has shifted emphasis from the ends of action to this means; it can also be seen as an effect of the redeployment of advanced liberal capitalism after its retreat under the protection of Keynesianism during the period of 1930-1960, a renewal that has eliminated the communist alternative and valorized the individual enjoyment of goods and services.“
— Jean-François Lyotard
