Besides covering works that have yet to be translated into English, its principal strength is the way in which it synthesizes politics and philosophy, demonstrating how Negri engages politics through philosophy and vice versa. It is no exaggeration to say that this book will fundamentally change the debate on Negri's work.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJason Read, University of Southern Maine\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \"Sympathetic but not uncritical, carefully exploring the interplay of text and context, Tim Murphy's book promises to become the standard introduction to this exciting and controversial thinker.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSteve Wright, Monash University\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \"Murphy's book is remarkable, at once an overview of Negri's work while also providing a detailed analysis of its mainsprings.

He has been a professor of law at the University of Padua, a labor organizer in the Veneto, a political prisoner in Rome, a member of Italian parliament, a political refugee in Paris and most recently, as a consequence of the success of his book Empire (written in collaboration with American Michael Hardt), an internationally influential theorist of globalization. He has written over forty other books, which have been translated into dozens of languages, and his work has challenged orthodoxy in intellectual history, political science, labor relations, theology, and literary and cultural studies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is the first comprehensive study of Negri's work in any language. It follows the development of Negri's critical framework and theoretical innovations from his early work as a historian of legal philosophy in the Fifties, through his period of intense and unconventional leftist activism during the Sixties and Seventies and his imprisonment and exile during the Eighties and Nineties, culminating in a clear, thorough and evenhanded account of his important contributions to the emerging study of - and struggle over - globalization. The book also includes discussions of Negri's critics and the reception of his work at each stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e Chapter One: Who Is Toni Negri, and Why Are They Saying Such Terrible Things About Him?\u003cbr\u003e Militant and Professor\u003cbr\u003e Two Modernities\u003cbr\u003e Humanism After the Death of Man\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Two: A Critical Genealogy of the Modern StateÑIn Reverse\u003cbr\u003e Descartes' Reasonable Ideology\u003cbr\u003e Kant and the Formalists\u003cbr\u003e Hegel and Beyond\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Three: Workerism Between State and Party\u003cbr\u003e The Workerist Matrix\u003cbr\u003e Workers' Power and Autonomy\u003cbr\u003e Negri Beyond Marx?\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Four: From Solitude to Multitude\u003cbr\u003e The Anomaly of Immanence\u003cbr\u003e Poetics as Ontology\u003cbr\u003e Constituent Power\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Five: Empire and Counter-Empire\u003cbr\u003e From Imperialism to Empire\u003cbr\u003e Empire Under Fire\u003cbr\u003e Multitude and Commonwealth\u003cbr\u003e Envoi: Time to Come\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Works Cited\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Politics \u0026amp; government [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Politics \u0026amp; government\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Politics%20\u0026amp;%20government%20%5BJP%5D%22\"\u003eJP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52407310745880,"sku":"9780745643199","price":46.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745643199.jpg?v=1784160822","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/antonio-negri-hardback-9780745643199","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
