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.
