Critique of Everyday Life

Dissects modern life's triviality and potential resistance.

If you're drawn to the deep dissection of daily life and how the mundane can be both a symptom and a site of rebellion, "Critique of Everyday Life" could open your eyes. Lefebvre invites you to look beyond the surface of the everyday, questioning the status quo and inspiring a sense of philosophical activism. His influence on cultural studies and social theory could enrich your understanding of modern existence and its complexities.

Description

Henri Lefebvre's magnum opus: a monumental exploration of contemporary society. Henri Lefebvre's three-volume Critique of Everyday Life is perhaps the richest, most prescient work by one of the twentieth century's greatest philosophers. Written at the birth of post-war consumerism, the Critique was a philosophical inspiration for the 1968 student revolution in France and is considered to be the founding text of all that we know as cultural studies, as well as a major influence on the fields of contemporary philosophy, geography, sociology, architecture, political theory and urbanism. A work of enormous range and subtlety, Lefebvre takes as his starting-point and guide the 'trivial'; details of quotidian experience: an experience colonized by the commodity, shadowed by inauthenticity, yet one which remains the only source of resistance and change. This is an enduringly radical text, untimely today only in its intransigence and optimism.
