For Sartre the body is a willed instrument that consciousness commands

Evidence

In any case, such an analysis unveils a view of the body as an instrument of the project that consciousness is. Th e hiker uses her body as a tool and can freely decide to use it despite the instrument’s fatigue. All is a “matter of will.” Aside from showing a poor appreciation on Sartre’s part of physiological demands of the body, this example also shows how Sartre puts emphasis on consciousness as being in command. — Christine Daigle, Jacob Golomb (eds.), Beauvoir and Sartre, 119
