- 2001, Daniel Gordon, editor, Postmodernism and the Enlightenment, Routledge, →ISBN, page 202:
- The most famous definition of postmodernism is Lyotard's: “I define postmodern as incredulity towards metanarratives.” […] To accept Lyotard's definition of postmodernism is to accept the premise that postmodernism is the first movement since the Enlightenment to think critically about such narratives.
