Review of Metaphysics 40 (4):797-798 (1987)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

This is a descriptive and critical analysis of major themes in de Beauvoir's thought, arranged in roughly chronological order. As the title suggests, its focus is the nature and limits of her engagement. The author concludes that this commitment reaches its limit as early as 1939. Thereafter, it remains constant, despite some shift in content due to the political and social experience of the following decades.
