Marxist philosophy fuses German philosophy with English political economy

Evidence

But it seems to me that one of the most interesting and fecund subjects for research yet to be carried out concerns the relationship between German philosophy, French politics and English classical economics. One could say in a sense, I think, that the philosophy of praxis equals Hegel plus David Ricardo. — Antonio Gramsci, Selections from the Prison Notebooks, 1418

Categorization

  • XREF: This aligns with the Marxist-epistemology building blocks already in the reader’s Frankfurt School collection, where Marxism is contested as philosophy-of-history vs science. — connects to: Italian idealism and Second International socialism both drew on German sources.
  • QUESTION: Worth chasing how later scholars actually filled in the Hegel-plus-Ricardo research Gramsci says remains undone.
