  • Feminist pioneer, icon of existentialism: Simone de Beauvoir is the most influential intellectual of the 20th century. And yet her work and life were widely misunderstood. This is what philosopher Kate Kirkpatrick claims, and she explains why Beauvoir must be rediscovered.
    In her recently published book «Becoming Beauvoir», the British philosopher Kate Kirkpatrick aims to demonstrate, through Simone de Beauvoir's biography, how de Beauvoir made a much bigger contribution to existentialist theory than has been assumed until now. She also re-evaluates the life of the cultural figure of Simone de Beauvoir. Through her existentialist way of life, de Beauvoir, together with her life and philosophical partner Jean-Paul Sartre, apparently embodied the image of the public intellectual in the 20th century, and her core quote «One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman» still influences feminism today. 70 years after the publication of de Beauvoir's literary milestone «The Second Sex», Kate Kirkpatrick explains to interviewer Wolfram Eilenberger why Simone de Beauvoir must be rediscovered, especially as a philosopher.

    Erstmal möchte ich sagen: danke für dieses sehr spannende Interview. Trotzdem finde ich es schade dass hier ausschließlich über Beauvoir gesprochen wird während bei den meisten anderen Philosophen die in der Sternstunde interviewt werden auf mehr als eines ihrer Bücher eingegangen wird. "The Mystical Source of Existentialist Thought" ist beispielsweise ein höchst interessantes Buch von Kirkpatrick über welches man auch mit ihr hätte reden können...

      A few examples (but there are really tons): 20:59 , 11:18 , 23:07 , 17:50 (I really wanted her to conclude her thesis there)
