This paper defines the various differences and relationships with Marxist thought that Antoni Gramsci provides in his study of philosophy. The paper discusses Gramsci's spontaneous philosophy that revolves around the idea of common sense. The paper explains the inherent differences Gramsci finds in relation to Marxist issues of contradiction within society.
From the Paper:
"The major difference between Marxism and "spontaneous philosophy' for Gramsci is that intellectual order do not include common sense ideology; while Marx seeks out the differing method of "contradictions" to evaluate economic and social infrastructures. The spontaneous element of thinking in Gramsci's (1971) theory is controlled through the process of historical negation, as "common sense" is only a trend within historical patterns."
