Норма политической морали: интеллектуальный проект Антонио Грамши

Abstract

In the present paper we analyze the formation and the development of Antonio Gramsci, Italian Marxist theoretician, ideas during and after the 1917 Russian revolution. Beginning as journalist and militant in the Italian Socialist Party Turin branch, Gramsci saw in the revolutionary events in Russia the presence of the working class' "strength", as the main actor in transforming the society in a "collective body". After 1917, during the "Biennio rosso" in 1919-1920, Gramsci was the chief redactor of "Ordine Nuovo" review, from which appealed to the Italian workers to follow the Bolshevik experience, emphasizing their "spiritual strength". Then, during his days jailed as political prisoner by Fascists, the Communist leader reflected on the concepts of "hegemony", "passive revolution", and on the role of the intellectuals into the society.
