Gramsci's Organic Intellectual as Anarchic Embedded Theory

This paper is too long to post.

In this paper I use Gramsci's idea of the organic intellectual as a model for intellectual work that addresses the anarchic concerns of the isolated and dominating intellectual. By dwelling in organic connection to one's community and shaping one's intellectual work from that common sense, the organic intellectual resists isolation from the world or the domination over the world that can come from theories created in isolation. I conclude this paper by considering what it means to be an organic intellectual in various communities, and in particular the anarchic community.
