Description
Summary:Denying the logic of"Oneness"of the Empire and affirming the logic of"manyness" of the Multitude offered by Antonio Negri and Michel Hardt in their trilogy-- Empire, Multitude, and Commonwealth, this essay explores the possibility of offering a theoretical/theological framework for a contemporary radical ecclesiology without margins in the context of Empire. It consists of two major sections. The first section explains the notion of the Empire as it is proposed by Antonio Negri and Michel Hardt. The second section proposes a radical ecclesiology in the contemporary context of Empire by referencing M. M. Thomas's "New Humanity''and Giorgio Agamben's"Coming Community."
