Abstract
En este ensayo exploraré la perspectiva de Negri acerca de la
noción de comunidad política en tanto que basada en el concepto de
multitud. A tal efecto, en primer lugar trataré la identificación negriana
del plano de inmanencia en los orígenes de la modernidad europea.
En esta parte, me centraré en la ontología spinoziana y, en particular,
en la rearticulación, por parte de Negri, de la noción spinoziana de
poder consitituyente como sustento conceptual sobre el que descansa
la idea de multitud. En segundo lugar, postularé que Negri interpreta
la teoría posmoderna en términos de rechazo frente a la concepción
moderna de la soberanía y la idea trascendental de poder tal y como
ambas serán rearticuladas a la luz del mayo del 68 francés. Sobre
esta base, profundizaré a continuación en la ontología social de Negri
para ulteriormente dar cuenta del telos de lo común. Finalmente,
concluiré que, a diferencia de lo que sucede con el resto de filósofos
posmodernos, Negri sí acierta a proponer una teoría política posmoderna
potencialmente funcional.
In this essay I will explore Negri’s politics of community by drawing upon his analysis of the notion of multitude. To that effect, I will, first of all, discuss Negri’s identification of the plane of immanence in the origins of European modernity. In this part, I will focus on Spinoza’s ontology and in particular, on Negri’s re-articulation of Spinoza’s contituent power as the conceptual basis upon which the notion of multitude relies. Second, I shall argue that Negri envisages posmodern theory in terms of the rejection of both the modern order of sovereignty and the transcendental ideal of power as influenced by the May ‘68 upheaval in France. On these bases, I will then delve into Negri’s social ontology in order to account for his take on the telos of the common. Finally, I will conclude that Negri succeeds unlike any other postmodern philosopher at putting forward a potentially functional postmodern political theory.
