Abstract

Anyone who attends discussions and debates dedicated to the philosophy of Simone de Beauvoir, a great thinker of the 20th century, knows that it is not uncommon that at some point someone raises the inevitable question about her claiming to be herself mainly a writer, but not a philosopher. Our proposal is to face this question directly as a question or a problem of philosophy and not as a Beauvoir’s problem with philosophy, as some authors, including feminist philosophers, have been insisting for some time. We understand that Simone de Beauvoir's intellectual and feminist engagement is not only compatible but necessary to affirm the authenticity and originality of her philosophy.
