As much as I appreciate the exploration of Gramsci's relevance in the contemporary discourse, I think the author has missed the mark in drawing connections between faith, reason, and affect in Gramsci's thought. To use an example from the article, the author posits that "according to Gramsci, it is the encounter between faith-reason and affect that could push individuals to achieve a higher level of consciousness." But if we look closely into Gramsci's Prison Notebooks, this holistic 'encounter' that the author refers to is a far cry from the complexity and nuances that Gramsci actually engages with. More importantly, the author's insistence on fusing these concepts without delving into the contradictions and limitations of each is problematic. It seems like a disservice to the thoroughness of Gramsci's body of work and his keen insights into the interplay between power and ideology.
