Dialectical confusion Sartre in the light of contemporary anthropology and political ecology

This article proposes a new use of Sartrean concepts (counter-finality, pratico-inert, worked matter) in the light of current debates in the fields of anthropology and Marxian political ecology concerning the relationship between praxis and its objects. Updating Sartrean dialectics allows us to take a position in this debate with regard to the status of hybrid entities, leading us to reconsider the dualism of humans and matter and philosophical assumptions relating to the idea of historical feasibility.
