In the Prison Notebooks there is a critique of sociology that leads to the elaboration of a “science of politics”. In this essay, it is argued how this critique – that starts off as political intervention in the context of the Third International – is related to the main points of Gramsci’s reflection, as the relationship between theory and politics (and the status of theory), and between philosophy and ideology, the concepts of historical necessity, law and science. It is shown how the result of the research is not, for Gramsci, mainly the rebuttal of the idea of a social legality, but the redefinition of the law in terms of “regularity”, a notion in which political will and economic necessity are synthesised.

Abstract
In the Prison Notebooks there is a critique of sociology that leads to the elaboration of a “science of politics”. In this essay, it is argued how this critique – that starts off as political intervention in the context of the Third International – is related to the main points of Gramsci’s reflection, as the relationship between theory and politics (and the status of theory), and between philosophy and ideology, the concepts of historical necessity, law and science. It is shown how the result of the research is not, for Gramsci, mainly the rebuttal of the idea of a social legality, but the redefinition of the law in terms of “regularity”, a notion in which political will and economic necessity are synthesised.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
