Political Writings
Book (italiano):
This work collects political essays written over the course of 30 years by French existentialist philosopher Simone de Beauvoir (1908-1986). The essays highlight her leftist political leanings, with some dating from before her writings on existentialist ethics and before her classic feminist work, "The Second Sex." Each essay is introduced by a different contributor in philosophy, French, or English. The first chapter offers a group of shorter essays of political reporting from Spain, Portugal, and the US. The rest of the book consists of chapter-length essays. Two of the essays in the collection are translated for the first time: a 1947 article written for an American newspaper, anda transcription of a 1974 documentary film on the treatment of the elderly, written and produced by Simone de Beauvoir in collaboration with others.
