The seminar offers an introduction into the oeuvre of Simone de Beauvoir, one of the most original and important thinkers of the 20th Century, whose philosophical stature has been now finally fully acknowledged (or almost). We will read and discuss three of her major philosophical works: The Second Sex,one of the inaugural texts and pillars of Western feminist philosophy, where she articulates at length her renowned critique of gender oppression and patriarchy; The Ethics of Ambiguity, where she outlines an existential ethical theory cantered on an ambiguous notion of freedom; and Pyrrhus and Cineas, an original dialogical essay where she examines criteria and principles for ethical and political action.
In the last three sessions of the seminar, students will have the possibility to present their own personal readings of Simone de Beauvoir’s novels, short stories, and autobiographical texts. Student presentations will give all of us the possibility to discuss further topics, from friendship to non-monogamy, from grief and mourning to the relationship between life and theory. |
