The beginnings of Beauvoir's existential phenomenology

Margaret A. Simons

pp. 17-39

Abstract

Simone de Beauvoir's handwritten diary from 1927 reveals Beauvoir's early philosophical influences, including Bergson and Baruzi, and provides a moving account of her struggle against despair, her dedication to philosophy, and her description of the temptation in bad faith to abdicate oneself in love, an origin of the opposition of self and other.
