Beauvoir-in-America: Understanding, Concrete Experience, and Beauvoir's Appropriation of Heidegger in America Day by Day
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 March 2020
Abstract
This paper reads Simone de Beauvoir's travel journal America Day by Day for its philosophical content. I argue that this work provides a unique approach to feminist, embodied philosophy, one that has been overlooked by the categorization of her writing into philosophical works and feminist ones. Such an approach, I contend, is enacted here through her use of Heidegger's concept of the everyday to inform her own treatment of understanding and experience.
