Abstract
Abstract Boggs' interpretation of Gramsci's work provides a lucid introduction to his thought and its contemporary implications. It elucidates those key elements that are not always clearly defined or well developed and sets them in a framework opposed to the mechanistic formulations of the Second International while differentiating Gramsci's political theory from that of Lenin. In the opening chapter, Boggs stresses that “Gramsci reacted against the prevailing tendency to seize only the materialist, economic side of Marxism in a never-ending search for natural, uniform laws of historical development; he struggled to restore the elements of praxis and totality to Marxist theory by reintegrating the active or ‘subjective’ dimension without which the revolutionary process itself could not develop” (p. 21).
