Volume 1 Chapter 1 “Gramsci’s Plan and the Legacy of Classical German Philosophy” is an introduction to the basic premises and issues of the “Prison Notebooks” and the author’s project. Chapter 2 “Kant and the Enlightenment 1500 to 1800” presents the struggle of the bourgeoisie against feudalism and, embedded in it, the development of Enlightenment philosophy from the Renaissance/Reformation to the French Revolution and Kant. The first volume is to be followed by others, the contents of which have been conceived and, on average, about 30 % of which have already been written. Volume 2 is 60% complete and, if the author’s working conditions remain the same, may be published in the third quarter of 2021. The preliminary planning is as follows:
