Legacy of Simone de Beauvoir

Treats the historical, philosophical, and literary dimensions of Simone de Beauvoir's thought. This work locates her work in the intellectual and political upheavals that marked Paris in the 1930s and 1940s, and analyses her philosophical links to 17th-century rationalism, and to Kant, Hegel, Merleau-Ponty, Sartre, Simone Weil, and Heidegger.
