Abstract

In this interview, André Tosel recalls the most important phases of his scientific commitment. He focuses on the different aspects of his theoretical experiences: the left-wing Catholicism, his meeting with Althusser, his discovery of Gramsci’s role in the Marxist historicism. Tosel emphasizes the differences between Althusser and Gramsci, recognizing the Italian Marxist – an author not sufficiently studied in France – as a point of reference for the elaboration of a critical analysis of the structure of the contemporary capitalism. Of course, according to Tosel, such an appreciation of Gramsci’s work does not exclude critical evaluations of his contribution.
