Jean-François Lyotard

He rejected the idea of “grand narratives” or universal “meta-narratives.”  The grand narratives refer to the great theories of history, science, religion, politics. For example, he doesn't believe that science has given us the answer to everything. Lyotard prefers to use ‘micronarratives’ that can go in any direction, that reflect diversity and they are unpredictable.
