 Furthermore, he distinguished between a traditional intelligentsia which sees itself (wrongly) as a class apart from society, and the thinking groups which every class produces from its own ranks "organically".Such "organic" intellectuals do not simply describe social life in accordance with scientific rules, but instead articulate, through the language of culture, the feelings and experiences which the masses could not express for themselves.To Gramsci, it was the duty of organic intellectuals to speak to the obscured precepts of folk wisdom, or common sense ("senso comune"), of their respective politic spheres.
