"Henri Lefebvre, Metaphilosophy, and Modernity provides a new interpretation of the work of Henri Lefebvre (1901-1911), reframing it as being above all a metaphilosophy of modernity. Henri Lefebvre is increasingly being recognized as one of the great twentieth-century think-ers. Nevertheless, the majority of scholarship on Lefebvre predominantly focuses on his the-orizing of space, often taking Lefebvre's The Production of Space as the point of departure, and/or on his theorizing of everyday life, with his multi-volume Critique of Everyday Life as the focal point. This book argues that it is Lefebvre's concept of metaphilosophy that pro-vides the connective tissues for these works, one that is chiefly concerned with deciphering the enigma of modernity. The book will appeal to a wide interdisciplinary and international audience, from the fields of sociology, philosophy, cultural studies, geography, the history of ideas, and literary stud-ies. This includes scholars and students interested in Henri Lefebvre's writings, everyday life, modernity, space/time, leisure/work, continental thought, critical theory, Marxism, and technology"-- Provided by publisher.
