Abstract

Gramsci located the origin of the struggle for a new culture, for a great transformation, in the disintegration of Hegelianism. He lived the moment of suspended transformation, when the old is dying and the new could not be born yet. He realized that to understand transformation one had to understand how the past and the future meet in the present. It is an encounter as a double movement. Gramsci’s own intellectual style of reasoning is also a double movement so that one has to start both from things that are (Being) and from things that are not (Non-Being). Gramsci approaches historical transformation from the Hegelian perspective of Becoming expressing the inseparability (Ungetrenntheit) of Being and Non-Being, but not their unity. Gramsci escapes the Hegelian self-referential and circular reasoning sustained by the double-negation as affirmation (Aufhebung). Gramsci argues that the Hegelian non-orientable notion of immanence must be historicized.
