The seminar offers an introduction to the work 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 explore, to begin with, her renowned critique of gender oppression as she articulates it at length in The Second Sex, one of the inaugural texts and pillars of Western feminist philosophy. We will also reconstruct and discuss her ethical theory cantered on an ambiguous notion of freedom, her original theory friendship, her views on (old) age, mourning, and travel. We will engage both with Beauvoir’s theoretical writings and essays (e.g. "The Coming of Age"), letters (e.g. from “A Transatlantic Love Affair: Letters to Nelson Algren"), autobiographical texts (e.g. "A Very Easy Death"), novels (e.g. “She came to stay) and novellas (e.g. "Inseperables"). |
