Since her death in 1986 and the publication of her letters and diaries in                  1990, interest in the philosophy of Simone de Beauvoir has never been greater. In                  this engaging and timely volume, Margaret A. Simons and an international group of                  philosophers present 16 essays that reveal Beauvoir as one of the century's most                  important and influential thinkers. As they set Beauvoir's work into dialogue with                  Husserl, Merleau-Ponty, Heidegger, Foucault, Levinas, and others, these essays                  consider questions such as Beauvoir's philosophical relationship with Sartre; her                  ethic of the erotic; her views on marriage, motherhood, and female friendship; and                  her interpretations of oppression and liberation. This book discusses the full range                  of Beauvoir's work, including The Second Sex, her unpublished diaries,                  autobiographical writings, novels, and philosophical essays, and broadens the scope                  and interpretive context of her unique philosophy.Contributors                  are Nancy Bauer, Debra Bergoffen, Suzanne Laba Cataldi, Edward Fullbrook, Eva                  Gothlin, Sara Heinämaa, Laura Hengehold, Stacy Keltner, Michèle Le Doeuff, Ann                  Murphy, Shannon M.
