Ciliberto e Vacca: The Philosophical Autonomy of Marxism

Abstract

This is the Abstract of the double review in English by Alessio Panichi of the volumes In cammino con Gramsci (‘On the Road with Gramsci’) by Giuseppe Vacca (Roma, Viella, 2020) and La fabbrica dei Quaderni. Studi su Gramsci (‘The Workshop of the Notebooks. Studies on Gramsci’) by Michele Ciliberto (Pisa, Edizioni della Normale, 2020). The former analyses Gramsci’s elaboration of the philosophy of praxis, and the latter looks how Gramsci’s reading of the national history and cultural tradition of Italy informed the concepts developed in the Prison Notebooks.
