Developing a reading of some of Beauvoir and Sartre's most influential writings in philosophy, Max Deutscher explores contemporary philosophy in the light of the phenomenological tradition within which "Being and Nothingness" and "The Second Sex" occurred as striking events operating on the border of the modern and the "postmodern".
