Synopsis
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, untilmely today only in its intransigence and optimism. Volume One is a groundbreaking analysis of the alienating phenomena of daily life under capitalism.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Hardcover. Etat : Near Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. First Edition Thus. First edition thus, hardcover, has a skew to the binding, bumps to the spine ends and cover corners, subtle waving with a few small spots and smudges to the edges of the text block, and a previous owner's brief note to the last free end page with some pencil marks to the text that are largely limited to the Preface. Overall, this is a solid, Near Very Good copy in a Very Good dust jacket, which has bumps with light creasing to the spine ends and corners, rubbing with some smudges and subtle soiling to the covers, and light wear to the edges with a short tear near the upper front corner.
