FAGIOLI, Andrea. Beyond the People and the Industrial Working Class. Paolo Virno’s Political Theory of the Multitude. Prax. filos. [online]. 2021, n.53, pp.205-224.  Epub Aug 27, 2021. ISSN 0120-4688.  https://doi.org/10.25100/pfilosofica.v0i53.11533.

Paolo Virno is one of the philosophers who have dedicated more attention to the reflection on the multitude, considered an adequate concept to think the political subjectivity at the level of the present times. Virno is an eminently political thinker, his reflections are always rooted in political-militant concerns, however, many times the political dimension of his thought is found in the reflection on the eternal issues of the philosophy. Reconstructing a political theory of the multitude in Virno, therefore, implies composing a collage that goes beyond its mere hand-to-hand with the philosophical-political tradition and in which emerge the elements that characterize the multitude, its intrinsic politicization and, in parallel, the basis for an alternative politics.

Keywords : Crowd; Political theory; Postfordismo; Subjectivity; People.
