Philosophical writings
Beauvoir, Simone de, 1908-1986Urbana : University of Illinois Press, [2004]"As the first complete, scholarly edition of Beauvoir's philosophical essays in English translation, this volume aims at nothing less than the transformation of Simone de Beauvoir's place in the canon. Despite growing interest in her philosophy, Beauvoir remains widely misunderstood and is typically portrayed as a mere philosophical follower of her companion, Jean-Paul Sartre. In Philosophical Writings, Beauvoir herself shows that nothing could be further from the truth."--Jacket.Dating from her years as a philosophy student at the Sorbonne, this is the 1926-27 diary of the teenager who would become the famous French philosopher, author, and feminist, Simone de Beauvoir.
