Leading French thinker with his key work on philosophical thought
In "Metaphilosophy," Henri Lefebvre works through the implications of Marx s revolutionary thought to consider philosophy s engagement with the world. Lefebvre takes Marx s notion of the world becoming philosophical and philosophy becoming worldly as a leitmotif, examining the relation between Hegelian Marxist supersession and Nietzschean overcoming. Metaphilosophy is conceived of as a transformation of philosophy, developing it into a programme of radical worldwide change. The book demonstrates Lefebvre s threefold debt to Hegel, Marx and Nietzsche, but it also brings a number of other figures into the conversation, including Sartre, Heidegger and Axelos. A key text in Lefebvre s oeuvre, "Metaphilosophy" is also a milestone in contemporary thinking about philosophy s relation to the world. "From the Trade Paperback edition.""
