Michael Hardt (literary theorist)
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convinced that the ideas of the educated bourgeoisie of fair access to education and universities are currently being withdrawn bit by bit - the " War on Terror " in particular has created a climate in the United States of America in which only limited technical and basic military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”.
