Unlike the medieval city and the nineteenth-century metropolis, the operating logic of the current post-metropolis is based on an unparalleled increase in the mobility of people, goods, and capital. As opposed to the city (regional code of laws) - countryside (feudalism) division of the medieval period, and the production (colony and/or factory-suburb) - consumption division of the classical metropolis, the post-metropolis has exponentially multiplied the diversity and transversality of its main divisions. Consequently, the hegemonic political subject created by the new post-metropolitan condition no longer coincides with that of other previous models. This article reflects on the two main models of political subjects conceived by the two principle models of contemporary philosophy, based on an analysis of the new urban conditions in which these subjects develop: Negri’s concept of multitude and the creative entrepreneur described by Sloterdijk. Although their conceptions and socio-political categories differ, both authors coincide in establishing a two-way productive relationship between the environment and the subject.
