The present thesis, in general, aims to analyze the links between Simone de Beauvoir's philosophy and the reading of Hegelian dialectics carried out by Alexandre Kojève, a fundamental point that moves it away from the shadow of Sartre's philosophy. Based, above all, on the work published in 1949, The Second Sex, we start from the hypothesis that Simone de Beauvoir carries out a critical appropriation of the dialectic of master and slave, present in the Phenomenology of the Spirit (1807). Through the analysis of Beauvoir's work, the aim is to demonstrate that the philosopher does not purely transpose the elements of dialectics, because by contesting the generic framework of human relations that is obtained from Hegelian dialectics, which persists in the philosophy of the young Sartre, the philosopher transforms and creates an original interpretation that encompasses and investigates the woman's experience as the Other.
