While many scholars consider Simone de Beauvoir an important philosopher                  in her own right, thorny issues of mutual influence between her thought and that of                  Jean-Paul Sartre still have not been settled definitively. Some continue to believe                  Beauvoir's own claim that Sartre was the philosopher and she was the follower even                  though their relationship was far more complex than this proposition suggests.                  Christine Daigle, Jacob Golomb, and an international group of scholars explore the                  philosophical and literary relationship between Beauvoir and Sartre in this                  penetrating volume. Did each elaborate a philosophy of his or her own? Did they                  share a single philosophy? Did the ideas of each have an impact on the other? How                  did influences develop and what was their nature? Who influenced whom most of all? A                  crisscrossed picture of mutual intricacies and significant differences emerges from                  the skillful and sophisticated exchange that takes place here.
