  • Simone de Beauvoir in a 1959 interview with Wilfrid Lemoyne from Radio-Canada. The translation is my own. I also improved the quality a bit. Note, this is a version of an upload from the previous channel.

    She spoke with such intelligence, sharpness and confidence. What a woman.

      She's even considerate and elegant enough to find a "common ground" manner of speech when she noticed that the interviewer, Wilfrid Lemoyne (1927-2003), wasn't quite keeping up with her very elite Parisian mannerisms.
      Of course, with all due respect to him, he was also expressing himself as her worth French-Canadian counterpart, in terms of language.
      Lemoyne, like her, also studied at the Sorbonne, but he was a full 19 years her junior.

      I wouldn’t admire the person given her sexual abusiveness, however her thought is absolutely indispensable

      ​@@punchgodkeep in mind they might have been lies. The masses tend to easily plant rumours, that eventually grow into truths. This isn't necessarily the case... But I would judge her solely on what is proven to be truly hers. Aka her words.

    what a great interviewer. He asks all the right questions and she's not stumped. Fascinating coming from over 60 years back in time and yet a relevant conversation in every way

    I looked for a book on Simone de Beauvoir in the Philosophy section in a bookstore and the cover read like a New Age self-help book: don't think of the future or the past but grasp your existence as it is now... blah, blah, blah. She is just one in the long line of Modern philosophers who turned their back on metaphysics and hence became boring, hack self-help gurus and fuzzy unclear social critics. I loved her first memoir though. Her literature is great.

      In 1959, Maurice Duplessis prime minister of Quebec was extremely anti-communist and pro-catholic. The interviewer is a product of his own society, hence the interest in political question and god.

    When I saw the thumbnail for this I thought, "My word, Elon Musk looks terrible!" Very odd resemblance.

    Pauvre Simone! Elle a tout fait pour rejeter sa féminité contre laquelle elle s'est férocement battue. Zut, Olga a ruiné son ménage à trois avec Jean-Paul. De toute façon, tout cela est du charabia si l'on suit le déconstructionisme à la Derrida ou même BHL, puisque le sens d'un texte dépend exclusivement du lecteur
    Malheureusement, elle a eu un impact négatif dans l'académie Américaine avec the Feminine Mystic. Aujourd'hui on en arrive à glorifier the Only Fan subculture, comme soit-disant libération du deuxième sex.
    Bravo la gauche française. Reste en France!
    Glad to live on this side of the Atlantic.
