THE LESSONS OF GRAMSCI’S PHILOSOPHY OF PRAXIS
THE LESSONS OF GRAMSCI’S PHILOSOPHY OF PRAXIS

Summary/Abstract: For many intellectuals, including the philosopher Cornelius Castoriadis, the histori- cal destiny of Marxism-Leninism has discredited the philosophy of praxis. It can no longer serve as a source for radical political thought. Analyzing the theoretical contribu- tions of the Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci, we argue that a renewal of Marxism is both possible and needed. After more than forty years of neoliberal capitalism, a revital- ized Marxism can contribute to the critique of contemporary forms of economic exploi- tation and statist domination. We propose that it is the concepts developed by Castoriad- is that need to be translated and adapted to this reformed philosophy of praxis.
