Rehmann, Jan

Philosophy of Praxis, Ideology-Critique, and the Relevance of a ‘Luxemburg-Gramsci Line

is part of Historical Materialism, vol. 22 , 2 , London; Leiden; Biggleswade : London School of Economics; Koninklijke Brill , 2014 , pp. 99 - 116
After highlighting the philological and theoretical fortes of Peter Thomas's The Gramscian Moment, the intervention questions his assumption of Gramsci's allegedly ‘neutral' concept of ideology. This interpretation is one-sided in that it leaves out the ideology-critique adopted via Labriola and practised throughout Gramsci's work. Gramsci's perspective of rendering people's common sense more coherent opens up a more democratic perspective than Kautsky's and Lenin's notion that socialist class-consciousness is to be brought ‘from without'. The intervention argues that the reconstruction of a ‘Luxemburg-Gramsci line' is of importance for today's debates and struggles.
