Is Negri’s Spinoza really “savage”?
Antonio Negri’s The savage anomaly presents a seminal reading of Spinoza’s philosophy as the discovery of a radically alternative concept of power defined as “constitutive power”, opposed to “sovereign power”. For Negri, this constitutive power, present in Spinoza’s philosophy, manifests itself in human action, as the genetic principle that produces the various determinations of history by overcoming its own material limits posed by the sovereign power. For this reason, according to Negri, constitutive power is the true nature of being in Spinoza. Through a close analysis of this text, in particular Negri’s treatment of Spinoza’s Ethics in two distinct metaphysical foundations, I will show critically the crucial points of this particular interpretation. In order to overcome the ambiguities that Negri’s conception of constitutive power poses, I will propose an interpretation of Spinoza’s ontology in the perspective of the process of individuation that underlies it.
