Inventory Exercise

“The starting-point of critical elaboration is the consciousness of what
one really is, and is ‘knowing thyself’ as a product of the historical
process to date, which has deposited in you an infinity of traces,
without leaving an inventory”
-Gramsci
Prison Notebooks
(English translation)

The Italian translation ends more like
“therefore it is imperative at the outset to compile such an inventory”
(except that it is in Italian)
