In developing of The Second Sex existencialist analysis about western womans condition, namely her formation, situation and character, Simone de Beauvoir leave of an ethical reading of intersubjective relations that historically enabled the establishment of codes of femininity and on which the current state of education and morals. More precisely, the analysis of the authoress about the woman must occur from dialectical understanding of her historical condition or ethical understanding of the action of the subject, understood as For-itself, radical and unconditional freedom that is realized precisely through the action of self-constitution. Indeed, the existentialist philosophy is a philosophy of subjectivity of the subject process, i.e., existential process of constitution of the subject through choices made for freedom lived on historical situations. So what defines a singular manner the status of women is the fact that assert itself as subject contradicts the requirements of her situation. Accept themselves, however, as another is to deny the fundamental claim of the subject that she is and results in the practice of entangled by bad-faith conduct, i.e. practices to conceal the bondage free. Consequently, with the effort to put yourself as a subject, which is always ethical, there is also the temptation to constitute itself as an object by setting the be. It is that constituent of all existing ambiguity which translates specifically in the constitution of the feminine in a patriarchal society where it is intended that man Blame yourself to justify their existence, so it is not for her to invent their own purposes, but accept fate given to it from the outside and that is characterized by denial of freedom. Thus, our purpose is to understand how the historical construction of female occurs by the formation of a subjectivity that intends to deny and be denied as such and therefore can only give up the scheme of bad faith (AU) | |
