Summary

Differend by Jean-François Lyotard explores the concept of conflicts that arise when different language games or systems of judgment create incommensurable disagreements. Focusing on how these disputes lack a common framework for resolution, Lyotard investigates the philosophical and linguistic implications of such "differends". Through examining these unique disagreements, the book delves deep into the relationship between language, justice, and ethics.
