Description
Stella Sandford explores Simone de Beauvoir's philosophical basis for her reflections on social existence and human identity. Her work examines the meaning of sexuality, old age, and what it means to be a woman or man.
The book delves into Beauvoir's early moral period, post-war philosophical crisis, and mature thought, demonstrating the persistence of fundamental existential and ethical questions that drove her work. Extracts are taken from key texts such as The Second Sex, The Mandarins, Old Age, and an essay on the Marquis de Sade.
Stella Sandford is a Senior Lecturer in Modern European Philosophy at Middlesex University and author of The Metaphysics of Love: Gender and Transcendence in Levinas. This book offers insight into Beauvoir's thought and its ongoing relevance.
