परिचय

“Socialism and Philosophy” consists of letters that Labriola wrote to Georges Sorel in 1897 and published in Rome in 1898; a French edition appeared in 1899, an English translation in Chicago in 1907. In a deliberately conversational form the letters ask what philosophy is contained in Marxism. Labriola rejects both the fusion of historical materialism with evolutionary positivism and its supplementation by a neo-Kantian ethics: Marxism carries its philosophy within itself, as a “philosophy of praxis” – a theory of human beings who produce the conditions of their life through labour and thereby make their own history. The letters also touch on Darwinism, on the history of socialism and on the debate about revising Marxism that was beginning at the time. Gramsci’s use of the expression “philosophy of praxis” in the prison notebooks goes back to this text.
