Now, in this new \u003ci\u003eCompanion \u003c\/i\u003ededicated to her life and writings, an international assembly of prominent scholars, essayists, and leading interpreters reflect upon the range of Beauvoir’s contribution to philosophy as one of the great authors, thinkers, and public intellectuals of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eCompanion \u003c\/i\u003eexamines Beauvoir’s rich intellectual life from a variety of angles—including literary, historical, and anthropological perspectives—and situates her in relation to her forbears and contemporaries in the philosophical canon. Essays in each of four thematic sections reveal the breadth and acuity of her insight, from the significance of \u003ci\u003eThe Second Sex\u003c\/i\u003e and her work on the metaphysics of gender to her plentiful contributions in ethics and political philosophy. Later chapters trace the relationship between Beauvoir’s philosophical and literary work and open up her scholarship to global issues, questions of race, and the legacy of colonialism and sexism. The volume concludes by considering her impact on contemporary feminist thought writ large, and features pioneering work from a new generation of Beauvoir scholars. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAmbitious and unprecedented in scope, \u003ci\u003eA Companion to Simone de Beauvoir \u003c\/i\u003eis an accessible and interdisciplinary resource for students, teachers, and researchers across the humanities and social sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e   \u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eLaura Hengehold\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Philosophy at Case  Western Reserve University.
