I have developed a mild obsession with Simone de Beauvior. I think I came across her after I finished reading John Paul Satre's 'Being and Nothingness', a rather riveting book I might add, and was researching a bit about him and came across the part about his illicit affair with Simone. NO, actually I came across her in a novel I was reading and one of the characters was comparing her love affair to that of Satre and Simone's.
Anyway, however it happened it does not matter.
I find her terribly intriguing. She invited various young women into her bed and wrote volumes of Philosophy. I must admit that I don't know that much about her, yet. But watch this space. Besides, i haven't heard of any other female existential philosopher. Why would I NOT be interested.
Started reading her book "Ethics of Ambiguity' online, but stopped. It is a rare privilege to read and I would rather wait to get an actual copy of the book.
