Résumé anglais Contrary to the other philosophies, materialism cannot abandon the unity of life and philosophy that is its very essence. Materialism is obliged to explore the non-theoretical genesis of theory, in the form of a sociology of knowledge, or out of a sensualist disposition. If the first is often rejected out of hand as a kind of parody of Marxism, a sensualist approach generally appears more promising. This approach, however, should not deny sensation its pleasure-pain dimension or attribute to it a simple point of departure instead of the status of prime objective. The unity of life and philosophy cannot be adequately interpreted if the order is reversed : Primum philosophare deinde vivere.
