America Day by Day
Author: Simone de Beauvoir
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 9780520210677
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 414
Book Description
A portrait of 1940s America by a French writer, eg. "The constipated girl smiles a loving smile at the lemon juice that relieves her intestines. In the subway, in the streets, on magazine pages, these smiles pursue me like obsessions. I read on a sign in a drugstore, 'Not to grin is a sin.' Everyone obeys the order, the system. 'Cheer up! Take it easy.' Optimism is necessary for the country's social peace and economic prosperity."

L'Amérique au jour le jour
Author: Simone de Beauvoir
Publisher: Gallimard Education
ISBN: 9782070401987
Category : Travel
Languages : fr
Pages : 535
Book Description
"L'Amérique n'est nulle part. Mais la musique échappe aux rigueurs de l'espace" (p. 179-180). A la fois essai et témoignage, ce livre a été écrit à la suite d'un séjour de quatre mois aux Etats-Unis, en 1947. Selon le préfacier, le regard de S. de Beauvoir, en particulier sur l'enseignement américain, "est très révélateur de la combinaison d'égalitarisme et d'élitisme, assez typiquement française, à laquelle elle est attachée" (cf. la préface, p. i-xvii).

The Existential Phenomenology of Simone de Beauvoir
Author: Wendy O'Brien
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9780792370642
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
While earlier research considered Simone de Beauvoir in the perspectives of Existentialism or Feminism, this work is the first to emphasize her reflective and descriptive approach and the full range of issues she addresses. There are valuable chapters and sections that are historical and/or comparative, but most of the contents of this work critically examine Beauvoir's views on old age (whereon she is the first phenomenologist to work), biology, gender, ethics, ethnicity (where she is among the first), and politics (again among the first). Besides their systematic as well as historical significance, these chapters show her philosophy as on a par with those of Merleau-Ponty and Jean-Paul Sartre in quality, richness and distinctiveness of problematics, and the penetration of her insight into collective as well as individual human life within the socio-historical world.

A Companion to Simone de Beauvoir
Author: Laura Hengehold
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1118795962
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 677
Book Description
Winner of the 2018 Choice award for Outstanding Academic Title! The work of Simone de Beauvoir has endured and flowered in the last two decades, thanks primarily to the lasting influence of The Second Sex on the rise of academic discussions of gender, sexuality, and old age. Now, in this new Companion dedicated to her life and writings, an international assembly of prominent scholars, essayists, and leading interpreters reflect upon the range of Beauvoir’s contribution to philosophy as one of the great authors, thinkers, and public intellectuals of the twentieth century. The Companion examines Beauvoir’s rich intellectual life from a variety of angles—including literary, historical, and anthropological perspectives—and situates her in relation to her forbears and contemporaries in the philosophical canon. Essays in each of four thematic sections reveal the breadth and acuity of her insight, from the significance of The Second Sex and her work on the metaphysics of gender to her plentiful contributions in ethics and political philosophy. Later chapters trace the relationship between Beauvoir’s philosophical and literary work and open up her scholarship to global issues, questions of race, and the legacy of colonialism and sexism. The volume concludes by considering her impact on contemporary feminist thought writ large, and features pioneering work from a new generation of Beauvoir scholars. Ambitious and unprecedented in scope, A Companion to Simone de Beauvoir is an accessible and interdisciplinary resource for students, teachers, and researchers across the humanities and social sciences.

Philosophy as Passion
Author: Karen Vintges
Publisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 9780253330598
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
Philosophy as Passion refutes the commonly held view of Simone de Beauvoir as no more than an acolyte of Jean-Paul Sartre. Karen Vintges delineates Beauvoir's independent, original ethics and philosophy, drawing on the moral-philosophical treatises of the 1940s and '50s, The Second Sex, The Mandarins, and her autobiographical works. Vintges shows that Beauvoir's unique notions added an ethical dimension to existentialist philosophy. Drawing on Foucault's concept of ethics as an "art of living," Vintges shows how Beauvoir developed an individual ethic as an intellectual woman. Philosophy as Passion illustrates how closely Beauvoir's life and work were intertwined--how she lived her philosophy and philosophized her life.
