A Study Of Gramsci's Social Structure Duality Theory

For a long time,Marxist researchers have divided the social structure into two parts of the economic base and the superstructure,and think that it is a misunderstanding of the theory of Marx's social structure if it is absolutely separated from them.As a Western Marxist,Gramsci found that economic factors and cultural factors are interrelated each other and permeated each other when he was analyzing economic factors,political factors,and cultural factors.In the context of the transformation of capitalist society at that time,Gramsci combined with the social structure theory of Hagel and Marx to draw the thought of the duality of the social structure,that is,the two basic forms of political society and civil society.First,Gramsci built on the complex social background of Italy at that time,through the inheritance and development of Hegel and Marx's civil society and state theory,constructed the theoretical framework of the duality of social structure.Second,Gramsci explained the theoretical foundation of the social structure duality and the definition of the country's concept,and explained the content of the civil society in the country,and the country included the civil society in itself.Third,the essential characteristic of Gramsci's social structure dualism lies in the humanism of practical philosophy.The humanitarianism of Gramsci's practical philosophy has very profound academic implications,and the elite and popular theories are the theoretical applications of this humanism.Fourth,Gramsci took the cultural leadership as a breakthrough point,organic intellectuals as the main body,and the strategy of position warfare as a way to fully reveal the path to achieve the duality of social structure.Fifth,Gramsci's duality of social structure has rich and far-reaching implications for the current development of civil society in China,the transformation of government functions,and the strengthening of the Party's leadership consciousness.
