"This book is a clearly-written and tightly-organized addition to
the growing scholarly interest in Simone de Beauvoir's philosophy.
Kate and Edward Fullbrook provide an overview of Beauvoir's
philosophical sources and an outline of her original starting point
in ethics. Highlighting Beauvoir's emphasis on embodiment and
intersubjectivity, they argue strongly for Beauvoir's place in
current, popular ethical discussions." Eleanore Holveck,
Duquesne University, Pittsburgh
"This is certainly a book that needed to be written and the authors
make an excellent job of it. The book can be highly recommended."
Dr Elizabeth Fallaize, St. John's College, Oxford
"A good working introduction to de Beauvoir's thought." Times
