Review
"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.

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.
