I've always wanted to read Second Sex, but have heard such mixed comments on the two English translations (that they butcher parts/leave parts out (for the first translation in 1950s)/mistranslate/etc), that I wasn't sure. Wondering if you have any opinions on that As you can tell by my dumb username, I do not speak French

2024-05-28 15:37:38 +0000 UTCI find it interesting that Victor understands this as an ethics of virtue. When i first read it 4-5 years ago i saw myself as a bit of a deontologist, and as such understood it in those terms. "One has a duty to act in such a way as to preserve ones own freedom, as well as the freedom of others." I don't much hold this view any more, point being, i guess we some times see in things what we want to. Lastly: When Victor can put aside his whining about ClEaRiTy he's actually quite pleasant to listen to. Good stuff
