Most of the current discussions of modernity implicitly stick to the Logos-version of modernity, which can be traced back to the tradition of the Enlightenment. Based on Lefebvre's views on the ‘Logos-Eros dialectic’, this essay tries to suggest that there is an alternative version of modernity, namely, Eros-modernity. While Logos-version of modernity focuses on the issue of how irrational and non-rational factors (Eros) have been subdued by agents and mechanisms of reason and rationality, Eros-version of modernity relates to the issue of how these irrational and non-rational factors (Eros) have been licensed to approved domains in order that they can be released and gratified. Furthermore, the relationship between Logos-modernity and Erosmodernity has been examined in relation to leisure.
