Abstract

In this paper we will work on an analysis of the concept of myth, such as it appears in Gramsci’s The prision notebooks. We consider that this particular concept –coming from the theoretical- political development of one of Gramsci’s interlocutors, Georges Sorel– constitutes a key to trace what is the meaning of the construction of a «new» immanence in Gramsci’s work. We are interested in exploring the possibility that immanence in Gramsci could allow the project of building a philosophy of praxis to be more complex than we think, and that for this, the concept of myth becomes essential.
