"Henri Lefebvre Metaphilosophy And Modernity | Sociology

Henri Lefebvre Metaphilosophy and Modernity provides a new interpretation of the work of Henri Lefebvre (1901–1991) reframing it as being above all a metaphilosophy of modernity. Henri Lefebvre is increasingly being recognized as one of the great twentieth-century thinkers. Nevertheless the majority of scholarship on Lefebvre predominantly focuses on his theorizing of space often taking Lefebvre’s The Production of Space as the point of departure and/or on his theorizing of everyday life with his multi-volume Critique of Everyday Life as the focal point. This book argues that it is Lefebvre’s concept of metaphilosophy that provides the connective tissues for these works one that is chiefly concerned with deciphering the enigma of modernity. The book will appeal to a wide interdisciplinary and international audience from the fields of sociology philosophy cultural studies geography the history of ideas and literary studies. This includes scholars and students interested in Henri Lefebvre’s writings everyday life modernity space/time leisure/work continental thought critical theory Marxism and technology. |Henri Lefebvre Metaphilosophy and Modernity | Sociology
