The Lived Experience of Doubling: Simone de Beauvoir's Phenomenology of Old Age
In Wendy O'Brien & Lester Embree, The Existential Phenomenology of Simone de Beauvoir. Springer Verlag. pp. 127-147 (2001)
Abstract
This essay demonstrates that Beauvoir's La Vieillesse is a phenomenological study of old age indebted to Husserl's phenomenology of the body. Beauvoir's depiction of the doubling in the lived experience of the elderly--a division between outsiders' awareness of the elderly's decline and the elderly's own inner understanding of old age--serves as a specific illustration of Beauvoir's particular method of description and analysis.Author's Profile
