Simone de Beauvoir made her own distinctive contribution to
existentialism in the form of an ethics which diverged sharply from
that of Jean-Paul Sartre. In her novels and philosophical essays of
the 1940s she produced not just a recognizably existentialist
ethics, but also a character ethics and an ethics for violence.
These concerns, stemming from her own personal philosophical
background, give a vital, contemporary resonance to her work. De
Beauvoir's feminist classic The Second Sex reflects her earlier
philosophical interests, and is considerably strengthened by this
influence. This book defends her existentialist feminism against
the many reproaches which have been levelled against it over
several decades, not least the criticism that it is steeped in
Sartrean masculinism.
