Of course. Marxism was one of his main targets. They were bound to respond.

That wasn't quite my point - in some ways Lyotard's book can be read as a scathing indictment of a condition from a neo-Marxist view

It's even truer of Derrida. Much writing draws upon a few quotes from a small few essays, whereas he was a hugely prolific writer.

Always the case. I like his work on Augustine.

It's always always true to say of nearly any theorist and any essay using their work 'but it's much more complex than this.'

Yes, and it's often true. But Lyotard is haunted by one book, and usually just a few sections from that book.

I'm not really concerned with attacking or defending Lyotard. More interested in what his ideas have sparked.

I appreciate that. But I wonder if you are making something into a primarily French phenomenon, when I think it is more of a US one?

I don't think I've commented much, if at all, on its effects on French society. I know the UK & then the US much better.
