H. Lefebvre's Rural and Urban Sociology
Cvetko Kostić
Sažetak
H. Lefebvre, a prominent name in modern French sociology, has made an
important contribution to sociology, especially to the sociology of rural districts
and the sociology of urban centres.
Lefebvre's scientific activity has been particularly fruitful since the Second
World War when he began his work on rural and urban sociology, to concentrate
on sociological studies of urban centres in more recent times. His studies do not
deal with any particular socio-geographic questions but mostly with fundamental
problems arising from the relations and processes in the society of modern urban
centres. He does not study exclusively forms and processes in towns, but develops
special interest in the town of the future whose development and life are to be
inspired by a new humanism and belief in man.
Although Lefebvre’s views no doubt rest on a humane basis, his sociology,
for this very reason, sometimes conflicts with the reality and the existing relations
in society. Thus his works reveal him as a sharp critic of the existing situation
and social relations, and as a firm opponent of the relations imposed on man by
contemporary capitalism. Although his criticism may sometimes appear to be
inspired by a certain ideology, they are invariably based on scientific facts.
Marked by purity of style and clarity of ideas Lefebvre's works do not leave
the reader indifferent although the latter need not agree with the author in every respect.
