Introduction to Modernity : Twelve Preludes, September 1959-May 1961 Paperback / softback
by Henri Lefebvre
Part of the Radical Thinkers Set 06 series
Paperback / softback
Description
Originally published in 1962, when Lefebvre was beginning his career as a lecturer in sociology at the University of Strasbourg, it established his position in the vanguard of a movement which was to culminate in the events of May 1968.
A classic analysis of the modern world using Marxist dialectic, it is a book which supersedes the conventional divisions between academic disciplines.
With dazzling skill, Lefebvre moves from philosophy to sociology, from literature to history, to present a profound analysis of the social, political and cultural forces at work in France and the world in the aftermath of Stalin's death-an analysis in which the contours of our own "postmodernity" appear with startling clarity.
