Simone De Beauvoir is an important, and often downplayed, member of the philosophical tradition. She made several key contributions to feminism, existentialism and phenomenology. Engaged in an ongoing romantic relationship with another famous philosopher, Jean-Paul Sartre, she always thought of her work as an appendix to his. Her view could not be further from the truth. In this episode, Clancy and I try to bring into light some of De Beauvoir’s major insights and give you a sense of why she is a philosopher that requires attention.
