Gramsci: The Philosophy of Praxis

The philosophy of praxis does not aim at the peaceful resolution of existing contradictions in
history and society, but is the very theory of these contradictions. It is not the instrument of government of the dominant
groups in order to gain the consent and exercise hegemony over the subaltern classes. It is the expression of subaltern classes
who want to educate themselves in the art of government and who have an interest in knowing all truths, even the
unpleasant ones, and in avoiding the impossible deceptions of the upper class, and even more their own. Antonio Gramsci
With the warmest regard for the labour, courage, and memory of Tatiana Schucht, Gramscis sister-in-law, without whose
efforts to preserve Gramscis Prison Notebooks past both Mussolini and Stalins censors, at great threat to herself, we
would have lost a great communist corpus.
