Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Metaphilosophy establishes Lefebvre's place among the twentieth century's very greatest Marxist thinkers. Arguing that the idea of philosophy can only be realized by going beyond philosophy itself, Lefebvre opens philosophy up to the concerns of everyday life and love, mass media and synthetics, consumerism and nuclear apocalypse, in a breathtakingly original vision of what truly radical thought might be. First written in French half a century ago, the remarkable challenges that it poses remain as significant as ever. There will not be a more important work of philosophy published this decade." - David Cunningham, Institute for Modern and Contemporary Culture, University of Westminster "One of the great French intellectual activists of the twentieth century." - David Harvey "The last great classical philosopher." - Fredric Jameson "It is not excessive to claim that he is the ecophilosopher of the twenty-first century." - Stanley Aronowitz "A one-time Resistance fighter and member of the French Communist party, Lefebvre [...] argues that to be less fatalistic and more creative in confronting the world's problems, philosophical thinking will need to be more poetic, as it was at its beginning...Recommended." - B. T. Hutchinson, Metropolitan State University of Denver

Reseña del editor:

In Metaphilosophy, Henri Lefebvre works through the implications of Marx's revolutionary thought for philosophy. Metaphilosophy is conceived as a transformation of philosophy, developing it into a programme of radical worldwide change. The book demonstrates Lefebvre's debt to Hegel, Marx and Nietzsche, but it also brings a number of other figures into the conversation including Sartre, Heidegger and Axelos. Metaphilosophy stands as key text in Lefebvre's wide-ranging oeuvre, the foundation for his work on everyday life, the city and the production of space. It is also a key moment in contemporary thinking about philosophy's relation to the world.
