{"product_id":"philosophical-writings-simone-de-beauvoir-9780252085932","title":"Philosophical Writings: Volume 1","description":"Despite growing interest in her philosophy, Simone de Beauvoir remains widely misunderstood. She is typically portrayed as a mere intellectual follower of her companion, Jean-Paul Sartre. In \u003ci\u003ePhilosophical Writings\u003c\/i\u003e, Beauvoir herself shows that nothing could be further from the truth. \u003cp\u003eBeauvoir's philosophical work suffers from a lack of English-language translation or, worse, mistranslation into heavily condensed popular versions. \u003ci\u003ePhilosophical Writings\u003c\/i\u003e provides an unprecedented collection of complete, scholarly editions of philosophical texts that cover the first twenty-three years of Beauvoir's career, including a number of recently discovered works. Ranging from metaphysical literature to existentialist ethics, \u003ci\u003ePhilosophical Writings\u003c\/i\u003e brings together diverse elements of Beauvoir's work while highlighting continuities in the development of her thought. Each of the translations features detailed notes and a scholarly introduction explaining its larger significance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRevelatory and long overdue, \u003ci\u003ePhilosophical Writings\u003c\/i\u003e adds to the ongoing resurgence of interest in Beauvoir's thought and to her growing influence on today's philosophical curriculum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simone de Beauvoir\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0252085930\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780252085932\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Illinois Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/23\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.20d","brand":"Simone de Beauvoir","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986569396479,"sku":"9780252085932","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ec7a9e01-c2c9-4a9d-bbd1-02d02c0296c0.jpg?v=1683284126","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/philosophical-writings-simone-de-beauvoir-9780252085932","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
