In this article, I focus on de Beauvoir’s view and argue that, alongside an original account of existential freedom, she utilises a Marxist-inspired historical materialism as a methodological tool with which to analyse the social position of women. First, I discuss existential freedom and highlight de Beauvoir’s introduction of gender, whereby the concepts of material, social and situational conditions cohere to restrict the possibility of freedom and agency for women. Next, I explore Marx’s view on freedom and de Beauvoir’s endorsement that in order to promote human flourishing, structural and material change is required. Although some tensions prevail, I conclude that by weaving together existentialism, phenomenology and Marxism in her unique way, Simone de Beauvoir offers a complex and nuanced approach to human freedom.

One could be forgiven for asserting that Jean-Paul Sartre’s existentialism has become fashionable again, a worldview fitting for our time. How else can we interpret last year’s publication of Surfing with Sartre by Adam James, with existential freedom compared to the controlled manipulation of the surfing board?

摘要:La Lyre havraise的五场讲座(1932年11月至1933年3月)构成了对现代小说技巧的阐释。为此,让-保罗·萨图尔认为,小说与阿兰和费尔南德斯所介绍的《雷姆斯》之间存在区别。讲座内容包括安德烈·格德(andre Gide)的《造假者》(Les fax - monnayeurs);奥尔德斯·赫胥黎的《点对点》,詹姆斯·乔伊斯的《尤利西斯》;弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫的《海浪》、《达洛维夫人》和《奥兰多》;朱尔斯·罗曼斯的《善意之人》;以及约翰·多斯·帕索斯的《平行42度》。这一分析预示着萨特在其文学生涯后期出版的小说中所使用的技巧。法语摘要:Les cinq confizences de La Lyre havraise(1932年11月- 1933年6月)组成了一个暂定的“现代罗马的技术”。在此基础上,萨特提出了一种不同的观点,并将其引入了阿兰和费尔南德斯。这是关于安德列·吉德、阿道斯·赫胥黎、尤利西斯·德·詹姆斯·乔伊斯、岱格斯、达洛维夫人和奥兰多·德·弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫、朱尔斯·罗曼斯和约翰·多斯·帕索斯等人的自愿行为的确认和陈述。塞斯分析了与让-保罗·萨特(Jean-Paul Sartre)相似的“技术”、“雇佣”、“罗曼式”、“公共”和“简易”的“技术”和“简易”的“技术”。

This article focuses on Sartre’s concept of the practicoinert in his major work A Critique of Dialectical Reason, Vol. 1 (CDR). I first show the progression from Sartre’s previous conception of in-itself to his concept of practico-inert. I identify five different layers of the practico-inert: human-made objects, language, ideas, social objects and class being. I show how these practico-inert layers form the possibilities for our subjectivity and how this represents a change from Sartre’s view of in-itself in Being and Nothingness. I then explore the relationship of freedom to the practico-inert and how Sartre argues that the practico-inert places limits on our freedom. Lastly, I argue that despite the pessimistic picture Sartre paints in CDR, the practico-inert has the potential to both limit and enhance our freedom. I appeal to Sartre’s post-CDR essay ‘A Plea for Intellectuals’ to argue that a Sartrean account of progress requires the utilisation of the practico-inert.
