Simone de Beauvoir Studies 21 (1):142-154 (2005)

Abstract

Both freedom and death are central concepts for Simone de Beauvoir in her philosophy, fiction, and memoirs. Freedom provides the basis for her entire conceptual scheme, and death is a continuing preoccupation. A number of authors, including Elaine Marks, have observed this preoccupation and speculated on its psychological origins. Here I concentrate on the philosophical aspects of these themes in her work rather than the autobiographical.
