Leading French thinker with his key work on philosophical thought
In Metaphilosophy, Henri Lefebvre works through the implications of Marxâs revolutionary thought to consider philosophyâs engagement with the world. Lefebvre takes Marxâs notion of the âworld becoming philosophical and philosophy becoming worldlyâ as a leitmotif, examining the relation between HegelianâMarxist 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 Lefebvreâs 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 Lefebvreâs oeuvre, Metaphilosophy is also a milestone in contemporary thinking about philosophyâs relation to the world.
