Existence. Its a challenging book but it will force you to think. French Philosopher Simone De Beauvoir talks of Nihilism, Surrealism, Existentialism, Objectivity, and a persons ethics and values in life. It is brilliant. This is Philosophy at its finest.
Beauvoir also tries to resolve some problems Sartre had with trying to work out Existentialist Ethics. it's meaning is never fixed, it must constantly be won. This book examines Existence and it's meaning in a humans life. Despite being shorter than most Philosophy books this is by no means an easy read. Also discusses recognizing your own freedom and taking charge of your life.
This book will probably alter many well-rooted philosophical perceptions so, reader beware. Katharena Eiermann, 2006 "There is no more obnoxious way to punish a man than to force him to perform acts which make no sense to him, as when one empties and fills the same ditch indefinitely, when one makes soldiers who are being punished march up and down, when one forces a schoolboy to copy lines.".
Is it easier to adopt a game full of illusions created by someone else. Become an adventurer, passionate, serious, intellectual. Highly recommended, especially for those diving into the Realm of Existentialism.
This book is a keeper, and very quotable. What will the modern man do when slapped in the face with the absurdity of his own existence. de Beauvoir forces the reader to come face to face with the absolute absurdity of the human condition, and then, proceeds to develop a dialectic of ambiguity that will enable the reader not to master the chaos, but to create with it.
I could have done without the dramatic image of how the Nazi's conditioned themselves to become insensitive to human suffering (de Beauvoir used as an extreme example), but oh well. Where will his values come from when there are no values how will he create them out of nothing.
This is an excellent and original work of philosophy, closely related to the contemporary ideas of Sartre and Merleau-Ponty, but quite unique and not reducible to their work. This text is often wrongly belittled by commentators (and, indeed, de Beauvoir herself wrongly said disparaging things about it), but I think it is one of the classic texts of existential phenomenology and deserves to be widely read. I find it to be one of the best books (indeed one of the few books) to use to teach existentialism in introductory classes. The third chapter studies politics in a very thoughtful way, (though I find it is often lost on my intro students because they just don't have enough experience of political realities to appreciate the significance of what she is saying). I recommend skipping the first chapter, because it is self-consciously "literary," (in an obscure way), and contributes nothing essential to the book. Chapter 2 is the core of the book, and it is an incredible and compelling piece of writing that brilliantly discusses the distinctive nature of childhood experience, and then develops a dialectic of "bad faith" that offers a sort of system for understanding personality typesways, that is, of embracing (imperfectly) our freedom.
