Gramscian Moment, The: Philosophy, Hegemony And Marxism

Though claimed by disparate schools of thought, Peter Thomas shows Gramsci is best understood as deepening the classical Marxist tradition.

The influence of Antonio Gramsci's thought is exceeded only by the diverse interpretations to which it has been subjected. Claimed by disparate schools of thought, Gramsci's writing has influenced scholars ranging from Michel Foucault to Noam Chomsky.

In The Gramscian Moment, Peter D. Thomas compellingly argues that Gramsci is best understood as deepening the classical Marxist tradition. His significance derives from his distinctive position in the development of classical Marxism, giving it a renewed relevance for generations to come.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Peter D. Thomas's The Gramscian Moment is widely praised for making Antonio Gramsci's thought accessible to an Anglophone audience and challenging previously dominant interpretations. Reviewers highlight the book's comprehensive analysis of Gramsci's concept of hegemony and its potential to become a standard English text on Gramsci. By meticulously examining Gramsci's Prison Notebooks, Thomas repositions Gramsci as a pivotal figure in reconstructing revolutionary Marxism, effectively revitalising his impact on political theory and philosophy.
