While many scholars consider Simone de Beauvoir an important philosopher in her own right, thorny issues of mutual influence between her thought and that of Jean-Paul Sartre still have not been settled definitively. Some continue to believe Beauvoir's own claim that Sartre was the philosopher and she was the follower even though their relationship was far more complex than this proposition suggests. Christine Daigle, Jacob Golomb, and an international group of scholars explore the philosophical and literary relationship between Beauvoir and Sartre in this penetrating volume. Did each elaborate a philosophy of his or her own? Did they share a single philosophy? Did the ideas of each have an impact on the other? How did influences develop and what was their nature? Who influenced whom most of all? A crisscrossed picture of mutual intricacies and significant differences emerges from the skillful and sophisticated exchange that takes place here.
Review "This collection of essays is a remarkable achievement. It allows readers access to the exciting domain of existential philosophy, fiction, autobiography, and more." —Shannon M. Mussett, Utah Valley University
(Shannon M. Mussett, Utah Valley University 2009)
Simone de Beauvoir (1908-1986), French philosopher and novelist, is perhaps best known as the intimate companion/friend of existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre. Over the decades, she has been a second banana, overshadowed by Sartre because of his huge literary and philosophical reputation. This international collection of scholarly essays attempts to rectify this assessment by claiming that she was a significant philosopher in her own right and that she influenced and contributed to many of Sartre's works. Editors Daigle (Brock Univ.) and Golomb (Hebrew Univ. of Jerusalem) bring together 14 essays that exalt Beauvoir to a higher philosophic plane, even though she consistently said that Sartre was the philosopher, and that she was merely a writer. Contributors disagree with her self-effacing remarks. (Unbelievably, one writer even refers to her as a giant of 20th-century philosophy.) This reviewer sees the existentialist The Ethics of Ambiguity as derivative of Sartre's work. The Second Sex is Beauvoir's original feminist essay, and her voluminous autobiographies suggest, perhaps, vanity. Altogether, this feminist-inspired book assumes a very advanced knowledge of Sartre and Beauvoir. Readers should see Hazel Rowley's Tête-a-Tête (2005) for a very enjoyable account of their personal relationships. Summing Up: Recommended. Women's studies collections supporting graduate students and faculty/researchers. --ChoiceM. P. Maller, College of DuPage, August 2009
