| Abstract: | It seems reasonable to provide a rough outline of Gramsci’s thoughts. One must keep in mind that Gramsci provided not a Theory of Hegemony handbook but repeatedly revised notes; these fragments were not intended to be published but served mainly as a means of self-assurance. His notes therefore are not to be seen as a source for a final theory. Nevertheless his thoughts about a new concept of Marxism as a ‘philosophy of praxis’ can stimulate an analysis of one’s conditions: ‘the prison notes remain a painful document, not because they provide finished explanations, but because they bring up difficult and unresolved questions and an antidote against self-satisfaction.’ (Buttigieg, 1994, p. 554). |
