Intellectual influence travels indirectly through intermediaries rather than by direct reading
Evidence
Gramsci, in fact, as he makes clear here in the Quaderni , did not know Bergson’s writing at the time. Bergson had, however, influenced Sorel, who in turn had influenced Gramsci in an early period. The result of Trozzi’s charge was to lead Gramsci to a re-examination and criticism of idealistic and Bergsonian influences in Sorel’s work. — Antonio Gramsci, Selections from the Prison Notebooks, 2501
