Abstract:
|
This essay argues that the concept of hegemony in Gramsci recapitulates and summarizes in Western thought the perennial argument between philosophy and rhetoric, knowledge and politics, and dialectic and power. Plato attempted to undermine the rational and theoretical bases of rhetoric in order to establish the supremacy of philosophy over politics, as well as the supremacy of dialectical speech over rhetorical speech. The essay is an attempt to go back to the beginnings, and it tries to link Gramsci and his notion of hegemony to the ancient classical controversies regarding the relation between philosophy and rhetoric, and dialectic and politics. It further argues that this antinomy is inherent in Gramsci’s hegemony, which represents an attempt to reconcile the demands of philosophy with the requirements of political action. |
