The Aporias of the Revolution: Dialectical Ruptures and Ritualization of Power

Cecília Pires

Abstract

The article discusses Sartre’s view of the concept of revolution and criticizes the Marxist bias in the way it has been historically experienced in the context of Eastern Europe. It points out the reasons presented by Sartre in Search for a Method and Critique of Dialectical Reason, which are works that analyze the doctrinal closure of dialectics and its dogmatic manifestations. The aporia that is pointed out affects the concept of revolution itself, although Sartre retrieves the validity of Marx’s original theses. Key words: Aporia, Rationality, Critique, Marxism, Revolution, Dialectics.
