Notes on Parology:

Lyotard "postmodern condition" legitimation by parology...or "false legitimization through consensus"...with paralogic and paramorality... "game rules" for ideology and hierarchy production

In Jean-François Lyotard's philosophy, paralogy refers to a way of thinking that moves beyond or against established modes of reason. It's a concept central to his critique of metanarratives and his exploration of postmodernity. Paralogy involves questioning established truths, challenging norms, and producing new ideas by going outside the confines of established reasoning.

5. Paralogy and "Petit Narratives": Lyotard also connects paralogy to the idea of "little narratives" or "petit récits". These are the diverse and localized perspectives and experiences that emerge when grand, overarching narratives are questioned or rejected. Paralogy allows for the articulation of these different realities and perspectives, even when they are in conflict or incommensurable with each other.
