Known as the philosopher who wrote The Second Sex, Simone de Beauvoir’s life has been the subject of much attention and intrigue. But her storied relationship with fellow existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre only scratches the surface of her vibrant and influential mind. King’s College philosopher Kate Kirkpatrick joins the Prospect Podcast to discuss Beauvoir’s philosophy and ethics, and her little-known work on the politics of ageing.
Kate Kirkpatrick’s Becoming Beauvoir is available with Bloomsbury: https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/becoming-beauvoir-9781350047174/
