Abstract
The issue of otherness was an unavoidable question for Simone de Beauvoir as for sartrean existensialism. Many of her writings, novels, essays and philosophical texts stage the complex relationship between subjectivity and otherness, along with the problem represented by the exercise of responsability, which is under constant debate between the singularity of all existent and the universal human condition. The notion of otherness allows to Beauvoir, in turn, to account for one of the most spread myths through which women have been represented: the “eternal feminine”. This article wishes to explore in depth the treatment of these matters in Beauvoir’s work.
