Notes

  1. Exemplified by the Kantian jurists of the late 18th century: Hufeland on the one hand, Hugo on the other and in between them Feuerbach – the old man – and Savigny – the romanist and dogmatic genius (See Negri 1962).

  2. It ought not to be forgotten here, that in the 2nd section of the Communist Manifesto Marx and Engels challenge the myopia of a capitalist worldview that cannot see beyond the bourgeois version of all social institutions.

  3. ‘Patrimonial property takes on the relais of sovereign property, when the world has become so artificial and as previously appropriated… a moment in which the imperative of the accumulation of wealth gives way to that of its transgenerational perpetuation’ (Xifaras 2004, p. 483–484).

  4. Correctly defined by Xifaras as ‘non-totalizing cooperation of singularities’.

  5. The Spinozian ‘working at the lens’.
