Can love serve as a political concept? On April 20, 2006, Michael Hardt, associate professor of Literature and Romance Studies at Duke University, discussed the cultural and political significance of the concept of love in the context of world politics in his lecture "Love in the Multitude." Hardt drew from sources as diverse as Freud, Augustine, Arendt, and Che Guevara to develop a political conception of love.
