The Critique of Everyday Life (Vols. 1-3)

"The Critique of Everyday Life," by French philosopher and sociologist Henri Lefebvre, examines how daily routines, habits, and common experiences shape our perception of reality and social structures. It explores how routines can reinforce societal norms and power dynamics, often unconsciously, while also revealing opportunities for resistance and change. Lefebvre encourages a reflective approach to everyday life, urging us to understand the deeper social, cultural, and political meanings behind our seemingly mundane activities. Ultimately, the work advocates for consciousness and active participation in transforming ordinary life to foster broader social transformation.
