References to Gramscian thought in Colombia

Abstract

Based on “philosophy of time”, which is part of Gramsci’s Cuadernos de la Cárcel, the author analyzes some of the methodological propositions of this notable philosopher. In the process, the author does a historical reconstruction of the leftist political thought. Such analysis is channeled through the Colombian case to highlight Gramsci’s work among intellectuals in this country’s left. This article adds a brief analysis of the writings of Colombian sociologist Orlando Fals Borda, who showed some inclinations to the ideas of the “philosopher of the praxis”.
