Marx’s practical aphorisms conceal an implicit full philosophy

Evidence

One must however be clear about this: the philosophy of praxis was born in the form of aphorisms and practical criteria for the purely accidental reason that its founder dedicated his intellectual forces to other problems, particularly economic (which he treated in systematic form); but in these practical criteria and these aphorisms is implicit an entire conception of the world, a philosophy. — Antonio Gramsci, Selections from the Prison Notebooks, 1523

Categorization

• QUESTION: Gramsci asserts the aphoristic form of the philosophy of praxis was ‘purely accidental’ — worth interrogating whether form itself matters for how this philosophy is received and reconstructed.
• XREF: connects to: Marxism’s goal is realizing philosophy by abolishing it — Fredric Jameson, Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic…, 721
