Abstract

This article explores, based on the problem of the body and its biological constituents, the question of the movement of “wanting to be”, based on the work_O Segundo Sexo, by Simone de Beauvoir. We investigated how the philosopher reaches the genesis of the submission of women, according to the perspective of biology and which are the biological references that allowed men to recognize women as the Other. This also affirms and shows that the biological body is the starting point of all the analysis of the philosopher who produced a conceptual set, rigorously philosophical, of the body submitted to society. Finally, we argue that the analysis of biological data, carried out by Beauvoir in the light of existentialist philosophy, was essential for the unfolding of the various conceptions that guide contemporary feminism.

Summary

Introduction

This article explores, based on the problem of the body and its biological constituents, the question of the movement of “wanting to be”, based on the work O Segundo Sexo, by Simone de Beauvoir. Para a realização desta obra, a filósofa orientase por princípios da filosofia existencialista: considera que o sujeito surge em um mundo dado, com várias possibilidades de existência, porém, tais possibilidades, que Beauvoir chama de “querer ser”, não são dadas à mulher.
