Critique of Everyday Life, Volume III: From Modernity to Modernism

Synopsis

The Critique of Everyday Life is perhaps the richest, most prescient work by one of the twentieth century’s greatest philosophers. A historian and sociologist, Lefebvre developed his ideas over seven decades through intellectual confrontation with figures as diverse as Bergson, Breton, Sartre, Debord and Althusser. Written at the birth of postwar consumerism, though only now translated into English, the Critique is a book of enormous range and subtlety.
