Understanding Henri Lefebvre - Theory and the Possible

Zusatztext '...Lefebvre was extraordinarily prolific and his oeuvre contains numerous works that are often neglected or have yet to be brought into focus by commentators. This is something that Elden's truly compendious Understanding Henri Lefebvre helps to correct...Elden has performed a fine service to Lefebvre scholarship here. His book will help to orient an English-speaking audience to the sophisticated philosophical background of one of the most original calls to revolutionary thought and action of the twentieth century.' Informationen zum Autor Stuart Elden is a Professor of Political Geography at Durham University. Zusammenfassung The Marxist philosopher and social thinker Henri Lefebvre (1901-1991), in his own words, saw "philosophy as a critical conscience on real life."
