Description

Book Synopsis
Drawing on Foucault's concept of ethics as an "art of living," this book shows how Beauvoir developed an individual ethic as an intellectual woman. It illustrates how closely Beauvoir's life and work were intertwined-how she lived her philosophy and philosophized her life.

Trade Review
