Sonia Kruks

Simone de Beauvoir and the Politics of Ambiguity

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This, the first full-length study of Simone de Beauvoir's political thinking, both examines Beauvoir in her own politico-intellectual context and demonstrates her originality and continuing significance. Insisting upon the ambiguity of all human action, Beauvoir presents an affirmation of human freedom and also a somber warning about the inevitability of failures in politics.
