Simone de Beauvoir's Le Deuxieme Sexe has been studied extensively
since its appearance in 1949. Through the years, certain passages
have taken on prestige; others are seen as unimportant to
understanding Beauvoir's argument. In Toward a Phenomenology of
Sexual Difference, Sara Heinamaa rediscovers those neglected
passages in her quest to follow Beauvoir's line of thinking.
Heinamaa, like some other recent philosophers, finds that Le
Duexieme Sexe is a philosophical inquiry, not the empirical study
it is commonly thought to be. Others who view Beauvoir's
masterpiece as a work of philosophy argue it is a criticism not
only of Sartrean phenomenology, but of phenomenology as a whole.
Heinamaa thinks differently. She finds that Beauvoir's starting
point is the Husserlian idea of the living body that she found
developed in Merleau-Ponty's Phenomenologie de la perception. So
when Beavoir wrote Le Duexieme Sexe, she was writing not as
Sartre's pupil, but as a scholar in the tradition of Husserl and
Merleau-Ponty.
