As Jean-François Lyotard explains in his book ‘The Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge’ (1984) he is concerned with ‘the condition of knowledge in highly developed societies’ (Lyotard‚ 1979). For the purpose of discussions regarding Lyotard‚ it is prudent to note that the use of the term "postmodernism" is not to be understood as a historical era following the modern period.
