As Aronson's careful study shows, Sartre continuously stresses the free praxis of the practical organism in a realm in which the antihuman, counterfinalities, and multiple inertial forces undermine this "freedom." In a sense, the fundamental paradoxes of Sartre's thought are highlighted in Aronson's serious and probing discussions of Critique I1. In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:Ħ38 JOURNAL OF THE HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY ~7:4 OCTOBER ~989 The continuous emergence in Sartre's second critique of a trend towards naturalism, a realistic materialism, and the concreteness of human needs (in a "Manichean world of scarcity") signifies the final turn in Sartre's thought from the early emphasis on the interiority of an absolutely free consciousness to a stark recognition of the determinisms, necessities, and inertial social and material forces that act upon man and check his intentional praxis.
