Introduction : the politics of construction -- A genealogical context of modern political thought -- More geometrico -- Nominalism redux -- The state of nature -- Constructing politics -- Conclusion : from erasing nature to producing the multitude.

That analysis then motivates a rereading of his famous pronouncements about the state of.
