This paper attempts to clarify E. W. Said's epistemology of society. This epistemology, with reference made to Gramsci's phrase "it is imperative at the outset to compile an inventory" , predicates the alienation from "compil[ing] an inventory", a metaphorical expression of this epistemology . This argument has in mind Vico's "gentile world", which is the inability to conceive society retroactively. Section 3 argues about the conditions of such a point by separating three topics. The distinctions of immediacy/mediacy, critical thinking/topical thinking, conjunction/embedded absence: these topics will be useful for clarifying implications of this "gentile" epistemology of society . In this way, Section 4 confirms Gramsci's view that it is "the starting-point of elaboration" to compile the inventory, through "the median state" led by such an epistemology of society .
