Focusing on the author's intellectual journey, this autobiography delves into his experiences as a committed Communist. It explores the challenges and sacrifices he faced while pursuing his ideals, providing a compelling insight into his personal and political evolution. As the first volume of a three-part series, it sets the stage for a deeper understanding of his life and beliefs.

This final volume in Antonio Negri’s new trilogy aims to clarify and develop the ‘common’ as a key concept of radical thought. Here the term is understood in a double sense: on the one hand, as a collective of production and consumption in which the domination of capital has been completely realized; on the other hand, as the cooperation of workers and citizens and their assertion of political power. The maturation of this duality was the sign of the limits of capitalism in our age; the common showed itself as the active force that recomposed production, society and life in a new experience of freedom. Today the promise of freedom seems undermined by the very institutions founded to uphold it, as the charters of western democracy seek to prioritize individualism. Negri advocates instead a free society founded on the premise that the good life is to be collectively ordered – in other words, a society that elevates the common. In his vision, giving political expression to those who work and produce is the only way of overturning totalitarian exploitation and of enabling every citizen to participate in the development of the city. Like its companion volumes, this new collection of essays by Negri will be a valuable resource for anyone interested in radical politics and in the key social and political struggles of our time.

This volume brings together Antonio Negri's critical writings on the nature and form of the modern state. The central theme that runs through these writings is the need to be done with the sovereign state - that is, with the particular form of political power that the capitalist organization of bourgeois society has imposed upon us. Negri seeks to show how the sovereign bourgeois state, built in the course of modernity, has now become a weapon in the hands of a declining ruling class, a class sometimes exhausted in its institutional expressions, and sometimes frenetic, zombie-like and parafascist. In arguing that the despotic power of the state should be abolished, Negri distances himself from some other thinkers on the Left who, erroneously in his view, have come to see the state as inevitable, instead of considering it as a place of power which, once conquered, should be transformed and ultimately dissolved as the central moment in the organization of force against living labour and free citizenship. In Negri's view, the call for the abolition of the state remains vital and active today as a concrete utopia that is expressed in every thought and act of liberation. The articles brought together in this volume range from Negri's analysis of the first great transformation of the capitalist state in the twentieth century, precipitated by the triumph of Keynesianism, to his more recent work on the transformation of the form of sovereignty from a figure of transcendent and local command to a dispositif of immanent and global control. As with the other volumes of Negri's essays, this volume will be a valuable resource for anyone interested in radical politics and in the key social and political struggles of our time. -- Provided by publisher

This first volume in a new trilogy of books by Antonio Negri examines and develops the Italian tradition of radical Marxist thought known as operaismo or ‘autonomist Marxism’ – the tradition to which Negri himself adheres and in which he is a leading figure. The tradition of operaismo emphasizes the role of the worker in capitalism and the primacy of class struggle. Within this framework, Negri’s key contribution has been to theorize the transition from the ‘mass worker’ to the ‘social worker’ – that is, to broaden the concept of living labour and liberate it from the theoretical cages that locked it into the factory. It was only by moving beyond the ideology and political practice of the mass worker that the revolutionary character of the Marxist concept of class could be updated for our times and developed in relation to the exploitation and socialization of living labour, including networks of cognitive work, reproductive work and care work, networks which also have the potential to become the bases for new forms of resistance to capitalist exploitation. By bringing together Negri’s key contributions to the reconceptualization of the worker and class struggle, this volume demonstrates the vitality of the Marxist tradition of operaismo and its continued relevance for understanding the key social and political struggles of our time.

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.

1979 erschien das Buch „Marx oltre Marx“. Es machte Antonio Negri schon lange vor „Empire“ international bekannt. 40 Jahre später sind Negris Vorlesungen über die „Grundrisse“ von Karl Marx (MEW, Band 42), die er an der Universität in Paris auf Einladung von Louis Althusser hielt, endlich auch in deutscher Sprache erhältlich. „Marx über Marx hinaus“ - so die wörtliche Übersetzung des Originaltitels - war ein Resümee der operaistischen Marx-Lektüre, die Anfang der 1960er-Jahre in Italien begonnen hatte. Zugleich markieren die Vorlesungen den Übergang in den sogenannten Post-Operaismus. Die darin von Negri entwickelte Lesart ist heute zum Bezugspunkt aktueller Debatten geworden, die sich um immaterielle Arbeit, Postkapitalismus und ein vermeintlich drohendes Ende lebendiger Arbeit durch die Technologien des Postfordismus sowie die Digitalisierung und Künstliche Intelligenz drehen.

This second volume of a new three-part series of Antonio Negri's work is focussed on the consequences of the rapid process of deindustrialisation that has occurred across the West in recent years.

Each year an eruption of "leaderless" social movements leaves external observers and activists perplexed. Why have the movements, which address the needs and desires of so many, not been able to achieve lasting change? In Assembly, Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri analyze potential paths for creating a more democratic and just society.

This the first of a new three-part series in which Antonio Negri, a leading political thinker of our time, explores key ideas that have animated radical thought and examines some of the social and economic forces that are shaping our world today.
