Minor rubbing. VG. 23x15cm, xxiii, 277 pp, PAPERBACK.

Through a close examination of Spinoza, Negri reveals him as unique among his contemporaries for his nondialectical approach to social organization in a bourgeois age. "Negri's book on Spinoza, written in prison, is a great book that renews our understanding of Spinoza in many regards. Negri is authentically and profoundly Spinozian. " Gilles Deleuze.

" Negri's works in English include Insurgencies (1999) and, with Michael Hardt, Labor of Dionysus (1994) (both published by Minnesota) and Empire"-from rear cover.
