Hardt and Negri’s Political Ontology: The Scope of the Multitude and the Reality of the Revolutionary

Summary/Abstract: Hardt and Negri’s philosophical approach is deeply shaped by their interpretation of biopolitics, particularly through their exploration of the multitude’s power and their analysis of emerging forms of sovereignty. The revolutionary potential within the diversity of the multitude cannot be fully grasped without considering the broader context of their critique of neoliberal political practices and their view of the Empire as a system that creates mechanisms for new political thought and action. A central question posed is whether, in reinterpreting Marxism through a postmodern lens, these authors manage to provide a framework for new, small-scale revolutions, or whether their intense focus on sovereignty has left them disconnected from the very multiplicity that defines the multitude’s potential
