Özet:

 The works titled Empire and Multitude that were co-authored by political theorists Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri have created a considerable impact on human and social sciences. In these studies, the writers examine the main characteristics of the passage from modernity to postmodernity, industrial production to postindustrial immaterial production, modern notion of sovereignty to the global regime that they call Empire. Moreover, they maintain that the political agents that were active in modernity should be reconsidered within the context of a new postmodern political subjectivity which they call the multitude. This article argues that Hardt and Negris political theory cannot be grasped only with an empirical approach, it must also be read from the perspective of political ontology. Underlying this claim is the fact that Hardt and Negri depart from the dominant political theories and critical methods of modernity, and that they take Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattaris Spinozian ontology to the center of their analysis. Accordingly, this article discusses the sourcesprimarily the philosophy of Deleuze and Guattarithat feed into concepts such as Empire, the multitude, desire, and immaterial labor introduced by Hardt and Negri, and it investigates the political ontology that constitutes the framework of their work.

 Siyaset kuramcıları Michael Hardt ve Antonio Negrinin birlikte kaleme aldıkları İmparatorluk ve Çokluk başlığını taşıyan eserler insan ve toplum bilimleri alanlarında hatırı sayılır bir etki yaratmıştır. Yazarlar bu çalışmalarında modernlikten postmodernliğe, sanayi üretiminden sanayi sonrası maddi olmayan üretime, modern egemenlik anlayışından İmparatorluk adını verdikleri küresel rejime geçişin temel özelliklerini ele almaktadır. Bunun yanında, modernlikte etkin olan siyasal faillerin postmodern durumda çokluk adını verdikleri yeni bir siyasal öznellik bağlamında tekrar değerlendirilmesi gerektiğini belirtmektedir. Bu makale Hardt ve Negrinin siyaset kuramının sadece ampirik bir yaklaşımla kavranamayacağını, aynı zamanda siyaset ontolojisinin bakış açısıyla okunması gerektiğini öne sürmektedir. Bu iddianın temelinde Hardt ve Negrinin modernliğe ait hâkim siyaset kuramlarından ve eleştiri yöntemlerinden ayrılarak Gilles Deleuze ve Félix Guattarinin kullandığı Spinozacı ontolojiyi kendi çözümlemelerinin merkezine almaları yatmaktadır. Buna göre bu makalede Hardt ve Negrinin ortaya attıkları İmparatorluk, çokluk, arzu ve maddi olmayan emek gibi kavramların başta Deleuze ve Guattari felsefesi olmak üzere hangi kaynaklardan beslendiği tartışılmakta, yazarların eserlerinin çerçevesini oluşturan siyasal ontoloji incelenmektedir.
