Abstract
A crucial intellectual forebear for both Marx and Gramsci was the German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. This chapter takes up the Hegelian-Marxist thread that runs through Gramsci’s key ideas, including Gramsci’s nuanced relation to the leading bourgeois Hegelian of early-to-mid-20th century Italy, Benedetto Croce. Gramsci’s historical materialism was developed as a critique of what he took to be Croce’s ‘subjective account of history based on the progression of philosophical thought rather than specific conditions of class struggle posed by problems of historical development’.
