Since her death in 1986 and the publication of her letters and
diaries in 1990, interest in the philosophy of Simone de Beauvoir
has never been greater. In this engaging and timely volume,
Margaret A. Simons and an international group of philosophers
present 16 essays that reveal Beauvoir as one of the century s most
important and influential thinkers. As they set Beauvoir s work
into dialogue with Husserl, Merleau-Ponty, Heidegger, Foucault,
Levinas, and others, these essays consider questions such as
Beauvoir s philosophical relationship with Sartre; her ethic of the
erotic; her views on marriage, motherhood, and female friendship;
and her interpretations of oppression and liberation. This book
discusses the full range of Beauvoir s work, including The Second
Sex, her unpublished diaries, autobiographical writings, novels,
and philosophical essays, and broadens the scope and interpretive
context of her unique philosophy.
