The spectacular success of Empire has brought Negri’s writing to a new, wider audience. This book reveals the variety and complexity of Negri’s thought and its unique relevance to modern politics. Outstanding contributors include Pierre Macherey, Daniel Bensaid, Alex Callinicos and Judith Revel.

Negri is one of the most sophisticated analysts of modern political philosophy. His work is both difficult and exhilarating, engaging as it does with Marx, Spinoza, Deleuze, Guattari, Tronti and others. This book is ideal for readers who want to get to grips with Negri’s key themes. It makes a great introduction to his work for students of political philosophy, as well as providing a comprehensive critical approach for Negri enthusiasts.

This book is the sequel to The Philosophy of Antonio Negri, Volume One: Resistance in Practice (Pluto, 2005) but can be read entirely independently.
