Labriola saw the philosophy of praxis as independently self-developing
Evidence
Labriola distinguishes himself from both currents by his affirmation (not always, admittedly, unequivocal) that the philosophy of praxis is an independent and original philosophy which contains in itself the elements of a further development, so as to become, from an interpretation of history, a general philosophy. This is the direction in which one must work, developing Antonio Labriola’s position, which Rodolfo Mondolfo’s books (as far as I remember) do not seem to develop coherently. — Antonio Gramsci, Selections from the Prison Notebooks, 1388
Categorization
- DEFINE: Establishes Gramsci’s programmatic reading of the philosophy of praxis as an original philosophy, not a synthesis of prior schools — a core orientation for understanding his own project.
