This third and final volume of the series of writings by Antonio
Negri examines how Spinoza's thought constitutes a radical break
with past ideas and an essential tool for envisaging a form of
politics beyond capitalism. Negri shows how Spinoza's ideas have
facilitated radical renewal from their beginnings to the present
day. It was the democratic freedoms and spirit of solidarity
fostered in The Netherlands of the 17th century that allowed
Spinoza to develop a radically new form of thought, redefining
notions of the state and outlining a republican alternative to
absolutist monarchy. In our own era, Negri argues that the
rediscovery of Spinoza was critical in reinvigorating political
theory. Instead of acquiescing to the economic order of capitalism
and abandoning the class struggle, Spinoza's ideas enable us to
reconstruct a revolutionary perspective. His treatment of concepts
such as multitude, necessity, and liberty have given us new ways of
looking critically at our present, revealing that power must always
be seen as a question of antagonism and class struggle. The
writings that make up this volume - some written from prison as
Negri fought for his own freedom - provide an important account of
the enduring relevance of Spinoza's thought. It will be of great
interest to students and scholars of philosophy and political
theory, as well anyone interested in radical politics today.
