Abstract
Marx's Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts are usually interpreted as a transitional work between di erent elements of Feuerbach's and Hegel's philosophy which are still strongly present in the work of young Marx, and between Marx's mature historical materialism. In the present text, we will try to show (with reference to the recent discussions on "young Marx", especially in the French context), that the Manuscripts, in fact, contain an ontology that cannot be reduce either to a mere residuum of classical German philosophy, or to a materialist conception of social life.
We shall try to describe this original ontology as an ontology of the sensible, or as an ontology of the nitude of human sensibility.
