{"product_id":"simone-de-beauvoir-writing-the-jo-ann-pilardi-9780275963347","title":"Simone de Beauvoir Writing the Self: Philosophy Becomes Autobiography","description":"The development of Simone de Beauvoir's notion of self in both her philosophical and autobiographical writings is analyzed in this volume. Two ideas of the self are isolated: the existential notion of the self and the gendered self, which she developed in \u003ci\u003eThe Second Sex\u003c\/i\u003e, and which represents a major departure from existential philosophy. Beginning with a study of her early essays, the author proceeds to discuss Beauvoir's major philosophical works and her autobiographical writings where three personae emerge--the child, the woman in love, and the writer. This analysis highlights the innovative quality of Beauvoir's thought. It also shows that writing an autobiography can be a philosophically inventive enterprise and one in which Beauvoir created her most profound analysis of the self.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jo-Ann Pilardi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0275963349\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780275963347\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/30\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.34h x 6.36w x 0.45d","brand":"Jo-Ann Pilardi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47087456813311,"sku":"9780275963347","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9035bf1c-7f3a-4726-be58-9248d0f2697c.jpg?v=1753849941","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/simone-de-beauvoir-writing-the-jo-ann-pilardi-9780275963347","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
