Antonio Gramsci (1891-1937) is widely celebrated as the most
original political thinker in Western Marxism and an all-around
outstanding intellectual figure. Arrested and imprisoned by the
Italian Fascist regime in 1926, Gramsci died before fully regaining
his freedom. Nevertheless, in his prison notebooks, he recorded
thousands of brilliant reflections on an extraordinary range of
subjects, establishing an enduring intellectual legacy.
Columbia University Press's multivolume "Prison Notebooks" is
the only complete critical edition of Antonio Gramsci's seminal
writings in English. The notebooks' integral text gives readers
direct access not only to Gramsci's influential ideas but also to
the intellectual workshop where those ideas were forged. Extensive
notes guide readers through Gramsci's extraordinary series of
reflections on an encyclopedic range of topics. Volume 3 contains
notebooks 6, 7, and 8, in which Gramsci develops his concepts of
hegemony, civil society, and the state; reflects extensively on the
Renaissance, the Reformation, and Machiavelli's political
philosophy; and offers a trenchant critique of the cultural and
political practices of fascism. A detailed analysis of positivism
and idealism brings Gramsci's philosophy of praxis and conception
of historical materialism into sharp relief. Also included are the
author's extensive observations on articles and books read during
his imprisonment.
