Abstract:
After a decade we’re back to issue about the relationship between Marx and Gramsci with the volume Marx e Gramsci. Filologia, filosofia e politica allo specchio (2011), since when in 2001 had already been published Marx e Gramsci. Memoria e attualità. Today we can find an hypochondriac trend to what is impolitic and anti-systematic in approach to the two thinkers, typical of post-modern age; and this last standpoint seems now hegemonic even among many left-wing intelligentsia. So the philological purity and the ideal "truth" of "sacred texts" are being opposed to the interpretation of the text, necessarily partisan and political. So there’s a permanent expiation of the sins by the academic, measuring himself with concept starting from the "beauty" of his soul, so that he doesn’t accept the specific historical materialization of thought. However, just the philological rediscovery of Marx and Gramsci, two "experts + political activists", seems to force the "new" to surrender to the reasons of the "old". And maybe, we just lack of a philosophical education to politics.
