Gilles Lipovetsky (born September 24, 1944 in Millau) is a French philosopher, writer and sociologist, professor at the University of Grenoble.

Lipovetsky began his philosophical career as a Marxist, similar to many others in the 1960s. Lipovetsky’s work focuses on the modern world from the latter 20th century to the present. He has divided this time period into three periods: “Marxist self criticism” (1965-1983), post-modern (1983-1991) and the hyper modern period from 1991 on. Lipovetsky has continued to write on topics such as modernity, globalization, consumerism, modern culture, markets, feminism, fashion, and media, but they have the common thread of individualism

Quotes by Gilles Lipovetsky (?)

“Lo decepcionante no es tanto la liberación sexual como la ausencia de vida erótica, la transformación de la relación en rutina, la falta de comunicación entre las personas.”
― Gilles Lipovetsky, La sociedad de la decepción. Entrevista con Bertrand Richard

“Charles Melman sostiene que nos aguarda un regreso del autoritarismo. Anuncia la venida inevitable de un fascismo voluntario. La sociedad de goce o de hiperconsumo. tal es la tesis del autor, creará una angustia insuperable, a causa de la extrema confusión en que nos hunde: los individuos ya no saben lo que está bien y lo que está mal, no disponen ya de referentes estructuradores. Por este motivo la gente reclamará una vuelta al orden. No será ya un terror venido de fuera, sino un fascismo de dentro, nacido de la exasperación del individualismo y la necesidad de aliviar la angustia ligada a la desarticulación de todos los referentes.”
― Gilles Lipovetsky, La sociedad de la decepción. Entrevista con Bertrand Richard

“La sociedad de consumo nos condena a vivir en un estado de insuficiencia perpetua, a desear siempre más de lo que podemos comprar. Se nos aparta implacablemente del estado de plenitud, se nos tiene siempre insatisfechos, amargados por todo lo que no podemos permitirnos. Se ha dicho que el sistema del consumo comercial es un poco como el tonel de las Danaides que además sabe aprovechar el descontento y la frustración de todos.”
― Gilles Lipovetsky, La sociedad de la decepción. Entrevista con Bertrand Richard
