## Description

Globalization is forcing us to rethink some of the categories -- such as                 "the people" -- that traditionally have been associated with the now eroding state.                 Italian political thinker Paolo Virno argues that the category of "multitude,"                 elaborated by Spinoza and for the most part left fallow since the seventeenth                 century, is a far better tool to analyze contemporary issues than the Hobbesian                 concept of "people," favored by classical political philosophy. Hobbes, who detested                 the notion of multitude, defined it as shunning political unity, resisting                 authority, and never entering into lasting agreements. "When they rebel against the                 state," Hobbes wrote, "the citizens are the multitude against the people." But the                 multitude isn't just a negative notion, it is a rich concept that allows us to                 examine anew plural experiences and forms of nonrepresentative democracy. Drawing                 from philosophy of language, political economics, and ethics, Virno shows that being                 foreign, "not-feeling-at-home-anywhere," is a condition that forces the multitude to                 place its trust in the intellect. In conclusion, Virno suggests that the                 metamorphosis of the social systems in the West during the last twenty years is                 leading to a paradoxical "Communism of the Capital."
