Abstract

This paper presents an interpretation of Gramsci’s conception of philosophy and education, as well as the articulation of such concepts in practice and in his theoretical-methodological paradigm. Texts produced mainly in Gramsci’s theoretical-methodological maturity were used such as the Prison notebooks, as well as the writings of some of his reviewers who have strong impact in Brazil. The text is divided into two parts: the first discusses the Gramscian conception of philosophy while the second focuses on his conception of education. In the conclusion, the focus is on central issues which must be taken into account in order to develop a good interpretation of the philosophical and pedagogical-educational legacy originated in Gramsci’s thoughts and actions, once he faced the contradictions of the Italian reality of his time in an attempt to cooperate with the overcoming of capitalist social relations.
