Gramsci e sua concepção ampliada de estado: uma atualização

Abstract

The present time suggests that the "political society" brings for itself the condition of promoter of "passive revolutions", in order to recompose the capitalist hegemony. In accord to Gramsci's argument, however, the "finishing" of the State in the sense of the re-absorption of "political society" into "civil society" will be realized with the taking of the power for the "expanded class". The concept of really democratic State, not only extended, but integral, is the result of the theoretical contribution of Gramsci. Thus, it is affirmed "regulated society" whose ethical and educative function is to promote the democracy, the freedom and the rise of each individual and all to the condition of self-determined subjects of their self social life.
