Sumario:The constituent power theory conceived by Antonio Negri is remarkably different from other existents concepts, for, instead of trying to decrease it or control it, Negri states the constituent power as an absolut, boundless and unfinished procedure. Despite of the notable feature, the strong philosophical arguments and the complex research accomplished by Negri on formulation of his concept of constituent power, this work will try to present, although briefly, some comments about his thesis based on Spinoza’s philosophy. Considering Negri had used Spinoza’s philosophy as foremost argument of his theoretical proposition, embracing and interpreting specific terms of this philosophical theory, it will be analyzed themes as like science and dynamics of affections, multitude and law, which – because of relevance to Spinoza’s literature – deserve to be thoughtfully examined and compared with elements of Negri’s constituent power theory.
