Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex | Woman as Other | Philosophy Core Concepts

Get de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex - Support my work here - Philosophy tutorials - Take classes with me - This is a video in my new Core Concepts series — designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker. This Core Concept video focuses on Simone de Beauvoir’s work of existentialist and feminist theory, The Second Sex, and specifically on her discussion of women as being the Other. Her examination also discusses other modes of alterity, in which political power, class or race function as the bases for making some group of people the Other.
