Negri's approach prefigures efforts by philosophers such as Slavoj i ek, Alain Badiou, and Giorgio Agamben to re-read the history of Christian thought against the grain. --Timothy S. Murphy, co-editor of The Philosophy of Antonio Negri Job regards God, according to Negri, not as judge or father or even as the source of discipline and mediation, but merely as antagonist, the locus of an empty, unjust command. There is no more question of measure--equating sins and punishment or virtues and rewards--that could support a conception of divine justice. But Job is not powerless... According to Negri's reading he stands before God angry, indignant, unrepentant, and rebellious. --from the foreword by Michael Hardt, co-author, with Antonio Negri, of Empire and Multitude Author InformationAntonio Negri was formerly professor of political science at the universities of Padua and Paris VIII.
