What is Critique of Everyday Life, Vol. 3: From Modernity to Modernism (Towards a Metaphilosophy of Daily Life) (Critique of Everyday Life (Verso)) about?

<p class="null1">Explores the crisis of modernity and the decisive assertion of technological modernism.</p> <p>Henri Lefebvre's magnum opus: a monumental exploration of contemporary society.</p> <p>Henri Lefebvre's three-volume <b>Critique of Everyday Life</b> 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 <b>Critique</b> 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.</p> <p>This is an enduringly radical text, untimely today only in its intransigence and optimism.</p>
