Simone de Beauvoir (1908-1986) emerged as one of the most influential figures of the 20th century, leaving an indelible mark in the philosophical and literary thought. Her extensive work transcended traditional boundaries, encompassing a wide range of topics that spanned from existentialism and ethics to feminism and politics. From her early years, Beauvoir boldly challenged the cultural and philosophical norms of her time, and her influence was instrumental in shaping the social and political landscape of her era. This endeavor aims to delve into the construction of her ideas, her life, and the central concepts that characterized her youth.
The structure of Young Beauvoir's thought is deeply rooted in existentialism, a philosophical current that directs its focus toward the individual human experience. However, Beauvoir significantly expanded the frontiers of existentialism in her works, incorporating her own personal experiences and observations of her life.
This endeavor sets out to trace the beginnings of this remarkable trajectory of the French thinker during her youth, analyzing the solid foundations of her thought.
