Michael Hardt (born January 1960 in Washington, DC ) is an American literary theorist from Duke University .

His best-known work is Empire , which he wrote together with Antonio Negri . In the follow-up volume Multitude , which was originally published in August 2004, Hardt and Negri present the idea of ​​the multitude in detail, which Empire only discussed vaguely and its direction. The authors see this idea as a possible catalyst for the emergence of a global democracy .

Hardt and Negri first met in Paris in 1986 . At this point Hardt was busy translating Negri's book on Spinoza into English. After a week-long working meeting, a friendship developed, which also meant a long-term literary collaboration.

Hardt is a supporter of the campaign for a parliament at the United Nations .

Hardt is convinced that the ideas of the educated bourgeoisie of fair access to education and universities are currently being withdrawn bit by bit - the " War on Terror " in particular has created a climate in the United States of America in which only limited technical and basic military understanding is promoted. The knowledge necessary for the so-called biopolitical economy, “the creation of ideas, images, code, inclinations and other immaterial goods” is not yet recognized as an existential requirement for economic innovation.

In 2005 Hardt was a Fellow of the Friedrich Nietzsche College on the subject of “Democracy in the Age of Empire”.
