A Study On Altermodernity Planning By Hardt And Negri

Since modern times,the criticism of modernity has been a very important topic in the field of philosophy.Hardt and Negri argued that modernity was the result of a conspiracy between capitalism and metaphysics.If we can't criticize the rational metaphysics effectively,we can't criticize capitalism thoroughly.The western philosophical tradition has been the suppression of the body by reason,in modern times,capitalism not only exploited and enslaved people's bodies,but also exercised even greater control over human's minds,subjecting human's thoughts,emotions and desires to all-round discipline and control.From Hardt and Negri's perspective,whether through the "beyond modernity" theory of constructive communication rationality,or through emphasizing the individuality and diversity of the pursuit of a more secular lifestyles of postmodern school,it can't rescue the capitalism under the control of the lack of human subjectivity,the lack of human subjectivity is the biggest crisis brought by modernity.Through further research,Hardt and Negri found that modernity is composed of two aspects,one is the revolutionary inner aspect dominated by desire,the other is the modernity dominated by rules and order,which is full of crisis.It is through the investigation of modernity revolution that they find the solution to the crisis of modernity,that is,human's desire will not always be willing to be dominated by order,but will always break the order and compete for their own subjectivity.Restoring human's subjectivity is the core of Hardt and Negri's altermodernity planning.Hardt and Negri profoundly reveal the change of labor mode of production in capitalist society from material to non-material labor,the limits of social production and life had gone,people already entered the era of the production of life politics,the role of emotion,creativity,and cooperation in social production becomes more and more important,the production of life politics is providing a steady stream of commonality for the restoration of human's subjectivity.This paper will explore the origin of Hardt and Negri's altermodernity from the perspective of the Italian autonomy movement and the two kinds of European modernities.As the main leader of the Italian autonomy movement,he personally directed and participated in the Italian autonomy movement.It is with this experiencethat Negri innovates and develops Marx's theory of struggle and tries to construct a new subject and strategy of struggle from a new perspective.In the analysis of European modernity,Hardt and Negri understood modernity as a process of constant confrontation and integration of order and desire.They discovered that human's desires are not forever tamed,and it was through their study of human's desires that they became aware of their potential to rebel against capitalism.Hardt and Negri note that capitalism has entered a new period of development,and the physical and mental exploitation of people by capital is further deepened,and people gradually lose the self-consciousness of subjects.Therefore,Hardt and Negri's altermodernity planning is to develop an independent,unique and comprehensive "new human".They combine Marx's politics of liberation with Deleuze's politics of desire,forming the theoretical basis of altermodernity planning,and taking the production of life politics as the realistic basis of planning.Only through the commonality created by the production of life politics can the new subject of struggle obtain the endless revolutionary potential.In this case,capital will never allow the development of the production of life politics,through the differentiation of the common field,the establishment of instability and the prevention of free movement of workers,destroy the environment of the production of life politics and occupy the created community.The third part is the practice path of altermodernity of Hardt and Negri.Hardt and Negri believe that modern society has got rid of the industrial society and entered the society that emphasizes the production of life politics,and the leading of the production of life politics makes the emergence of the masses possible,and the masses have replaced the main body of the struggle under the vision of Marx and become the revolutionary force of the future society.The revolutionary potential of the masses is based on the design of commonality.Only by accumulating enough commonality can the masses be able to form resistance against capital.The process of the masses' departure is to let the masses clearly understand the reality that they are controlled by capital,and withdraw from the relationship with capital in the way of departure,so as to regain the construction right of subjectivity.What is the theoretical value and practical significance of Hardt and Negri's altermodernity planning,This paper will evaluate Hardt and Negri's altermodernity planning from the perspective of Marx,and investigate the contemporary value and significance of their theory through evaluation.On the one hand,Hardt and Negri'saltermodernity planning endows Marxist theory with new times connotation and also provides a new academic hot spot for the study of Marxist theory.However,because its theory deviates from the proletarian position,it makes their altermodernity planning lack of feasibility.From the perspective of China's socialist modernization,their altermodernity planning theory also has certain reference significance.It can improve the level of social governance by managing the commonality and build a community with a altermodernity hared future for mankind based on the community.In a word,the planning of Hardt and Negri can also be summed up as another exploration of the communist road.Real communism is not an ideal social state that can be fixed,but a communist road that constantly destroys the existing conditions and is oriented to the future.Therefore,more imagination and innovation are needed in the construction of theory.It requires us in the development of Chinese Marxist theory,not only to have a focus on the local conditions,but also to take a broad view of the international theoretical vision.
