Abstract
A G RO W IN G EM PH A SIS in the left is on the priority to be given to the developm ent of consciousness as the key factor in the revolutionary process, and, within this, the building of a body of ideas challenging those prevailing in our society. “Revolu­ tionary culture” , “counter-hegem ony” , “counter-consensus” are various terms used. A cceptance of the key place of consciousness in the developm ent of revolution directs attention to the processes by which consciousness develops or may be developed in large numbers of people. I t is, clearly, a most intricate subject. Tt involves physiology, psychology, philosophy. It involves the reaction of hum an beings on each other individually and as “classes” , politically and culturally; the role of social institutions and structures. I t involves the different ways in which the process might take place in different groups of people.
