Críticas

"Time for Revolution constitutes a major philosophical statement by one of the most important thinkers of our time." Praise for Empire: "How often can it happen that a book is swept off the shelves until you can't find a copy in New York for love nor money?" "Whether presenting new concepts--like Empire and multitude--or urging revolution, it brims with confidence in its ideas." "Empire presents a philosophical vision that some have greeted as the 'next big thing' in the field of the humanities." "A sweeping neo-Marxist vision of the coming world order." "We discover here another Negri, a Negri deeply immersed in a philosophical, even a theological problematic. This book is a Must: it provides the proper background for Negri's widely circulated analysis of the global capitalist Empire." This book is a MUST: it provides the proper background for Negri s widely circulated analysis of the global capitalist Empire. Slavoj Zvizvek "Recommended. Graduate students, faculty, researchers."" -Choice, April 2004" No one who seeks to comment on global capitalism or the movements opposing it can afford to ignore Negri. He remains one of Europe s few truly public intellectuals. New Statesman Time for Revolution constitutes a major philosophical statement by one of the most important thinkers of our time.

Reseña del editor

The two key essays by Antonio Negri brought together here were written in prison two decades apart. "Time for Revolution" illuminates the course of Negri's thinking from the 1980s to Empire and beyond. It reflects Negri's abiding interest in the philosophy of time and resistance. The first essay is a central work in Negri's oeuvre, tracing the fracture lines which force capitalist society into perpetual crisis. The second essay, written immediately after "Empire", provides a conceptual toolbox, deepening our understanding of the two key concepts of empire and multitude. "Time for Revolution" explores the issue of our times: is there still a place for resistance in a society utterly subsumed by capitalism?
