Summary: "In this poetic work of remarkable structure and scope, Henri Lefebvre turns to the dawn of modernity. It is the book that established his position in the vanguard of a movement that culminated in the events of May 1968. A classic Marxist analysis of the modern world, Introduction to Modernity transcends 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 th world in the wake of Stalin's death--a prescient analysis in which the contours of our own 'postmodernity' appear with startling clarity."--P. [4] of cover.
