    <body><![CDATA[I liked this book, but I am not sure I will remember it in a few weeks. I don't read a lot of philosophy, and I probably picked up this book because it was cheap at Half-Priced Books and because I like SdB and Sartre, and their separate discussion about freedom.

    <body><![CDATA[De Beauvoir largely succeeds here in refuting the ridiculous claims that people used when trying to argue against the existentialists. Her prose is fairly straight forward (at least compared to Sartre's) and her arguments are very well crafted.

    <body><![CDATA[This is a good companion to Sartre's ‘Being and Nothingness’ as it simplifies and abbreviates B &amp; N while using it as a reference throughout.  There is much use of philosophical terminology that can stump you if you weren't a philosophy major.  Overall it sheds some light on the morals of man, t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/27967184">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It is indeed a tour de force on de Beauvoir's part to succeed in turning the absurdity of the human condition into a dialectic of ambiguity which proposes that &quot;we are absolutely free today if we choose to will our existence in its finiteness, a finiteness which is open on the infinite.&quot;  ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/21311292">more...</a>]]></body>

The second time, I read it more closely, which takes longer, but I'm able to then probe deeper and gain a more full understan...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5580116">more...</a>]]></body>

I was reading it for a paper I had to write for existentialism, though I might have read it for fun otherwise.  It was a quick and interesting read, though dry in some places.
