Common sense in Antonio Gramsci

Antonio Gramsci, an Italian communist intellectual, is one of the greatest theoreticians that his views strongly influence the Italian and European cultural studies and Marxism. He believes in such an infrastructure which has dialectically relation with a set of superstructure. This set includes: politics, culture, law, ideology and all those practices which don’t have a direct relationship with the production of maternal goods, but also indirectly are involved in legitimate mode of production. The dominant class not only supervises the society politically and economically, but also its special attitude to the world and human is so pervasive that becomes a common sense, and those who are under the domination, accept this approach as part of the natural order.Also, the common sense may be changed into an efficient force against the hegemony of the dominant class that Gramsci name it good sense. So, common sense in Gramsci’s view is multidisciplinary and has multiple roles. Therefore, the present study tries to describeGramsci’s the most important ideas about common sense.
