Written at the birth of post-war consumerism, the \u003ci\u003eCritique\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is an enduringly radical text, untimely today only in its intransigence and optimism.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51377618256095,"sku":"9781844671915","price":40.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/dc_CvKd3Y49781844671915.webp?v=1789236208"},{"product_id":"introduction-to-modernity-paperback","title":"Introduction to Modernity - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 1962, when Lefebvre was beginning his career as a lecturer in sociology at the University of Strasbourg, it established his position in the vanguard of a movement which was to culminate in the events of May 1968. A classic analysis of the modern world using Marxist dialectic, it is a book which supersedes the conventional divisions between academic disciplines. With dazzling skill, Lefebvre moves from philosophy to sociology, from literature to history, to present a profound analysis of the social, political and cultural forces at work in France and the world in the aftermath of Stalin's death--an analysis in which the contours of our own \"postmodernity\" appear with startling clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51377625432287,"sku":"9781844677832","price":28.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/sNsjCttv0d9781844677832.webp?v=1789236223"},{"product_id":"metaphilosophy-paperback","title":"Metaphilosophy - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLeading French thinker with his key work on philosophical thought\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eMetaphilosophy\u003c\/i\u003e, Henri Lefebvre works through the implications of Marx's revolutionary thought to consider philosophy's engagement with the world. Lefebvre takes Marx's notion of the \"world becoming philosophical and philosophy becoming worldly\" as a leitmotif, examining the relation between Hegelian-Marxist supersession and Nietzschean overcoming. Metaphilosophy is conceived of as a transformation of philosophy, developing it into a programme of radical worldwide change. The book demonstrates Lefebvre's threefold debt to Hegel, Marx and Nietzsche, but it also brings a number of other figures into the conversation, including Sartre, Heidegger and Axelos. A key text in Lefebvre's oeuvre, \u003ci\u003eMetaphilosophy\u003c\/i\u003e is also a milestone in contemporary thinking about philosophy's relation to the world.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51377627889887,"sku":"9781784782740","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/uTwRYny04u9781784782740.webp?v=1789236229"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/henri-lefebvre.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
