Thanks Lowe, I will forward the suggestion on.  I do believe that part =
of the problem is a lack of familiarity with the D+G type of language =
and style, which Negri has obviously partially adopted, and that is why =
my friend was looking for something in somewhat 'plainer' English.  He =
is in his 60's and is not really ready at this point to spend a few =
years learning the whole style which he finds quite unpleasant compared =
to Spinoza (which I find funny), which may limit him and which he is =
aware of that.  It is mostly because I have poked and prodded him to =
take this up because of his much greater familiarity with Spinoza that =
he is doing it at all.  So in the end, it is my fault.

Cheers,
Chris=20

  I do not know of any secondary critiques of the book, but I find that =
Negri himself is usually pretty good at explaining his interpretation. I =
cannot think of an interview or book that he's written that has not =
mentioned Spinoza. His reding evidently changed his entire perspective =
of the political. I have read the book and find it very nice as a work =
of Spinozan scholarship and historiography as well as a novel reading of =
Spinoza's work as a whole. It is not for those who enjoy light leisurly =
reading however, and can be quite dry (as dry as Deleuze's early =
dissertation if not more so) if you do not have a deep interest in the =
annals and development of this brand of philosophy. However, if you do =
read it and give it the time to understand it, it is extremely =
rewarding.=20

  The ne article he wrote, i believe it is 'Spinoza's Antimodernity' =
(which you can perhaps find on the web) is also very good at summarizing =
his interpretation. =20
