Jean-Francois Lyotard (1924-1998) was Professor of Philosophy at several universities in Paris and at the University of California at Irvine. A member of the Marxist group, Socialisme ou barbarie, until his disaffection in the early 1970s, he later went on to be one of the founding figures of postmodernism with his work The Postmodern Condition.
