Lefebvre's Critique of Everyday Life

Lefebvre's "Critique of Everyday Life" examines how modern capitalism and industrialization transform daily experiences, often making everyday life feel repetitive, superficial, and disconnected from genuine human needs. He argues that routines, consumer culture, and societal structures can inhibit personal creativity and meaningful engagement. Lefebvre encourages a conscious awareness of these patterns to reclaim autonomy and foster true spontaneity in everyday activities, ultimately seeking a more authentic and vibrant social existence beyond the passive consumption promoted by modern society.
