Summary:
One of the most influential Marxist theorists of the twentieth century, Henri Lefebvre pioneered the study of the modern state in an age of accelerating global economic integration and fragmentation. Shortly after the 1974 publication of his landmark book The Production of Space, Henri Lefebvre embarked on one of the most ambitious projects of his career: a consideration of the history and geographies of the modern state through a monumental study that linked several disciplines, including political science, sociology, geography, and history. State, Space, World collects a series of Lefebvre’s key writings on the state from this period. Making available in English for the first time the as-yet-unexplored political aspect of Lefebvre’s work, it contains essays on philosophy, political theory, state formation, spatial planning, and globalization, as well as provocative reflections on the possibilities and limits of grassroots democracy under advanced capitalism.

Summary:
Manuscrit retrouvé récemment dans la bibliothèque personnelle de la résidence secondaire d'Henri Lefebvre, « Vers une architecture de la jouissance » paraît pour la première fois en français. Manuscrit retrouvé récemment dans la bibliothèque personnelle de la résidence secondaire d'Henri Lefebvre à Saragosse, Vers une architecture de la jouissance interroge les différentes formes de jouissance que l'architecture contemporaine revêt. Terme difficilement traduisible, la jouissance dont parle Henri Lefebvre dans ce texte oscille entre le plaisir, la sensualité, la volupté, le délice, le bien-être. Elle devient ici la redécouverte d'un corps architectural à la mesure de la sensualité du corps de l'homme. Mais elle est surtout le rejet de l'ascétisme au sens où Nietzsche en parle dans le Zarathoustra quand il en fait l'expédient du prêtre qui assèche la vie en refusant toute légèreté. L'ouvrage réinterroge ainsi le principe d'habitation sur lequel Henri Lefebvre à travaillé tout au long de sa carrière. Professeur de sociologie à l'Université de Nanterre de 1965 à 1973, il a marqué toute une génération de sociologues, d'architectes et d'urbanistes. « Le Droit à la ville » de 1968 et « La Production de l'espace » de 1974 sont les piliers de son questionnement sur l'habitabilité de notre espace à vivre.

Summary:
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.

Summary:
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.
