The core problem to be solved in this article is "Practical philosophy is a kind of political philosophy." It mainly discusses the starting point of all practical philosophy-the category of Katharsis,and then quotes the relationship between philosophy,history and politics.Because in Gramsci’s view,Marx’s doctrine is a kind of "practical philosophy",and it is in the perspective of practical philosophy that Marx’s doctrine is "absolute historicism";at the same time,Gramsci also advocates that practical philosophy is both one A kind of political philosophy is also a kind of philosophical politics.Based on this discussion,I found that Gramsci’s understanding of "practical philosophy" as "political philosophy" aims to solve the problem of "what is practical philosophy".Focusing on the core of practical philosophy,Gramsci took a different approach,directly placing the core concepts of "democracy" and "progress" in the discussion of political philosophy in the practical philosophy section of Selections from the Prison Notebooks,and attributed the theory of democratic politics to "modern people’s"."Democracy",he believes that the value orientation of modern people is to realize a kind of "democratic political community",that is,"all progressive groups participate equally in a general alliance" such a pursuit.It is in this sense that Gramsci regards the concept of "progress" as the "ideology of democracy".In the political system of modern constitutional countries,"progress" has already assumed corresponding political responsibilities and played corresponding political functions.However,Gramsci is also soberly aware that the conceptual power of "progress" has not reached the "peak",because based on a political stand of "democratic",the power of "progress" has not been fully released."Progress" is an ideology,and the existing official will can no longer control its development process.It destroys everything established with a terrible force.This is obviously the confusion and crisis that modern countries must face,and this is a realistic problem that needs to be solved urgently in the ideological work of modern countries.As the two core elements of Gramsci’s political philosophy,"democracy" and "progress" have always been accompanied by the concept of "state".It is the demands of "democracy" and "progress" as ideologies that motivate Gramsci When discussing the meaning of "state",the integration of "civil society" and "political society" together constitutes a complete concept of "state",that is,"state = political society +civil society".In this conceptual paradigm,it has always been used by everyone.The question of "leadership" that is closely related to the problem of intellectuals,another point of which is to provide prerequisite conditions for the construction of a "democratic political community".
