In May 1973, Henri Lefebvre published this book which was immediately translated into German, English, Spanish, Greek, Italian, Portuguese and Serbo-Croatian. The second French edition appeared in November 1973 ... It had now become untraceable! In this book, the author questions the reproduction of the relations of production. How does society come about and especially how does it reproduce? This work, which remains topical, asks questions that Henri Lefebvre will then develop in De State (work in 4 volumes).This third edition is part of a movement of rediscovery and re-edition of the philosopher. Thus, the Anthropos editions have just reissued: The production of space, Space and politics, From rural to urban, Rabelais, Existentialism, The end of history, Contribution to aesthetics. They have just published an unpublished one: Méthodologie des sciences.Henri Lefebvre (1901–1991) was heralded inRadical Philosophyas “the most prolific of French Marxist intellectuals”; he was a sociologist, philosopher, activist, and public intellectual.
