Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on some political categories of Antonio Gramsci’s political philosophy such as common language, political work and common sense. The thesis is that for Gramsci the analysis of language is always critique of language and the purpose of this criticism is the political transformation of the existing form of life. The political work on the life form needs a very long processing time so the intellectual characteristic for Gramsci is patience.
