《波伏瓦传》内容简介

　　西蒙娜·德·波伏瓦不仅是女权主义的先驱，她的哲学思想对后世具有更大的影响。从这个角度来说，人们多年来对她的解读越来越独立于萨特。哲学家和波伏瓦作品鉴赏家凯瑟琳·纽马克甚至声称，法国著名的存在主义三巨头萨特、加缪、波伏瓦之中，只有波伏瓦得以留传。近年来，波伏瓦受到的关注似乎证实了这个观点。纽马克认为，当前波伏瓦受到的关注源于其提出的“存在主义伦理”，为我们这个时代的许多问题提供了答案，或者至少给出了一种导向。

　　“夫人，您是存在主义者吗？”1943年，作家让·格勒尼埃在花神咖啡馆向西蒙娜·德·波伏瓦提出的这个问题，让她陷入了窘境。因为她并不了解存在主义一词的含义，只知道某些哲学家的学说被称为存在主义，而且让-保罗·萨特深受这些哲学家影响。彼时，萨特的名作尚未问世，在他的作品创作之路上，西蒙娜时而时而表示肯许，时而建言献策，两人有时还会为了某些问题争论不下。存在主义只是一个词汇。更重要的是，这一新的哲学方向表达了她一直以来的人生态度，仿佛她的整个人生历程都在为存在主义做准备。通过这种哲学阐释，她明白了自己的内驱力从何而来，她何以变成如今的自己。存在基于出生，或者用存在主义的术语来说，存在基于被抛，每个孩子出生时即被抛入自身无法投射且充满期待和预设的世界；与此同时，人的天性渴望探索世界，形成自我需求和欲望，被抛入的世界与天性产生冲突，这种冲突在出生的前几年就可以感受到，之后的人生可能就是一场个人身份认同的斗争。终其一生，波伏娃都在进行着这样一种斗争，她的家庭，她对自己的性别认同，她和萨特的友谊和恋情，无不体现着这种斗争，而也正是这样的斗争，支撑了她对人类思想史无与伦比的贡献。

　　本书即是波伏瓦的一生传记，由知名传记作家阿洛伊斯·普林茨撰写。本书切入点独到，从讲述波伏瓦儿时的故事开始，旁征博引了许多教育家、哲学家、艺术家的观点，不单只是描述波伏瓦的人生，也深刻分析了造就她的原因。书中叙述了波伏瓦与亲人、好友的互动相处，描述了她思想的发展历程。作者没有隐瞒波伏瓦生活中的负面问题，但避免用偷窥的视角或指责的口吻加以描述。在21世纪这个巨变的十字路口、女权主义和女性话题流行的今天，波伏瓦的人生经历和她的理念更值得我们认真细细品读。

Introduction to the Biography of de Beauvoir

Simone de Beauvoir is not only a pioneer of feminism, her philosophical ideas have a greater impact on later generations. In this sense, she has been interpreted more and more independently of Sartre over the years. The philosopher and connoisseur of Beauvoir's works, Catherine Newmark, has even claimed that of the famous French existential triumvirate of Sartre, Camus, and Beauvoir, only Beauvoir has survived. The attention Beauvoir has received in recent years seems to confirm this view. Newmark argues that the current attention paid to Beauvoir comes from the "existential ethic" he proposes, which provides answers, or at least a guide, to many of the questions of our time.

"Ma 'am, are you an existentialist?" This question, posed to Simone de Beauvoir by the writer Jean Grenier at the Cafe de la Florista in 1943, landed her in a quandary. For she did not know the meaning of the word existentialism, only that certain philosophers' doctrines were called existentialism, and that Jean-Paul Sartre was deeply influenced by these philosophers. At that time, Sartre's famous work had not yet been published, and in the creation of his work, Simone sometimes expressed approval, sometimes offered advice, and the two sometimes argued over certain issues. Existentialism is just a word. More importantly, this new philosophical direction expresses the attitude she has always had toward life, as if her entire life course had been a preparation for existentialism. Through this philosophical explanation, she understood where her drive came from and how she became who she is today. Existence is based on birth, or in existentialist terms, existence is based on being thrown, each child is thrown at birth into a world of expectations and presuppositions that he or she cannot project; At the same time, human nature is eager to explore the world, forming self-needs and desires, and the world thrown into conflicts with nature, such conflicts can be felt in the first few years of life, and later life may be a struggle for personal identity. Throughout her life, de Beauvoir was engaged in a struggle that was reflected in her family, her sense of her gender identity, her friendship and love affair with Sartre, and that underpins her unparalleled contribution to the history of human thought.

This is the life biography of de Beauvoir, written by the renowned biographer Alois Prinz. This book starts from the story of Beauvoir's childhood, and draws on the views of many educators, philosophers and artists, not only describing Beauvoir's life, but also deeply analyzing the reasons that made her. The book describes Beauvoir's interactions with her relatives and friends, and describes the development of her thoughts. The author does not hide the negative aspects of Beauvoir's life, but avoids voyeuristic or accusatory descriptions. At this crossroads of great change in the 21st century, feminism and women's topics are popular today, Beauvoir's life experience and her ideas are more worthy of our careful reading.
