1
At the age of 21, Simone de Beauvoir became the youngest person to take the philosophy exams at France’s most esteemed university.
2
She passed with flying colors.
3
But as soon as she mastered the rules of philosophy, she wanted to break them.
4
She’d been schooled on Plato’s Theory of Forms, which dismissed the physical world as a flawed reflection of higher truths and unchanging ideals.
5
But for de Beauvoir, earthly life was enthralling, sensual, and anything but static.
6
Her desire to explore the physical world to its fullest would shape her life, and eventually, inspire a radical new philosophy.
7
Endlessly debating with her romantic and intellectual partner Jean Paul Sartre, de Beauvoir explored free will, desire, rights and responsibilities, and the value of personal experience.
8
In the years following WWII, these ideas would converge into the school of thought most closely associated with their work: existentialism.
9
Where Judeo-Christian traditions taught that humans are born with preordained purpose, de Beauvoir and Sartre proposed a revolutionary alternative.
10
They argued that humans are born free, and thrown into existence without a divine plan.
11
As de Beauvoir acknowledged, this freedom is both a blessing and a burden.
12
In "The Ethics of Ambiguity" she argued that our greatest ethical imperative is to create our own life’s meaning, while protecting the freedom of others to do the same.
13
As de Beauvoir wrote, “A freedom which is interested only in denying freedom must be denied.” This philosophy challenged its students to navigate the ambiguities and conflicts our desires produce, both internally and externally.
14
And as de Beauvoir sought to find her own purpose, she began to question: if everyone deserves to freely pursue meaning, why was she restricted by society’s ideals of womanhood?
15
Despite her prolific writing, teaching and activism, de Beauvoir struggled to be taken seriously by her male peers.
16
She’d rejected her Catholic upbringing and marital expectations to study at university, and write memoirs, fiction and philosophy.
17
But the risks she was taking by embracing this lifestyle were lost on many of her male counterparts, who took these freedoms for granted.
18
They had no intellectual interest in de Beauvoir’s work, which explored women’s inner lives, as well the author’s open relationship and bisexuality.
19
To convey the importance of her perspective, de Beauvoir embarked on her most challenging book yet.
20
Just as she’d created the foundations of existentialism, she’d now redefine the limits of gender.
21
Published in 1949, "The Second Sex" argues that, like our life’s meaning, gender is not predestined.
22
As de Beauvoir famously wrote, “one is not born, but rather becomes, woman.” And to “become” a woman, she argued, was to become the Other.
23
De Beauvoir defined Othering as the process of labeling women as less than the men who’d historically defined, and been defined as, the ideal human subjects.
24
As the Other, she argued that women were considered second to men, and therefore systematically restricted from pursuing freedom.
25
"The Second Sex" became an essential feminist treatise, offering a detailed history of women’s oppression and a wealth of anecdotal testimony.
26
"The Second Sex"’s combination of personal experience and philosophical intervention provided a new language to discuss feminist theory.
27
Today, those conversations are still informed by de Beauvoir’s insistence that in the pursuit of equality, “there is no divorce between philosophy and life.” Of course, like any foundational work, the ideas in "The Second Sex" have been expanded upon since its publication.
28
Many modern thinkers have explored additional ways people are Othered that de Beauvoir doesn’t acknowledge.
29
These include racial and economic identities, as well as the broader spectrum of gender and sexual identities we understand today.
30
De Beauvoir’s legacy is further complicated by accusations of sexual misconduct by two of her university students.
31
In the face of these accusations, she had her teaching license revoked for abusing her position.
32
In this aspect and others, de Beauvoir’s life remains controversial— and her work represents a contentious moment in the emergence of early feminism.
33
She participated in those conversations for the rest of her life; writing fiction, philosophy, and memoirs until her death in 1986.
34
Today, her work offers a philosophical language to be reimagined, revisited and rebelled against— a response this revolutionary thinker might have welcomed.

연습 팁

이번 영상은 시몬 드 보부아르의 강력한 메시지를 담고 있으며, 속도와 톤이 다소 사색적입니다. shadowing 기법을 통해 보부아르의 발음을 따라하며 내声音을 연습하는 것이 좋습니다. 초기에는 slow down 기능을 활용해 속도를 늦추고, 주요 문장이나 구문을 반복하여 익히세요. 당신의 리듬에 맞춰 발음을 조절하면서 자연스럽게 이야기하는 연습을 할 수 있습니다. 또한, 유튜브 영어 공부에 자주 활용되는 영상이므로, 자주 반복해서 시청하며 귀에 익히는 것도 좋은 방법입니다. 다양한 주제를 다루기 때문에 영어 회화 연습에도 유용합니다. 이 과정을 통해 자신감 있게 철학적 주제에 대해 논의할 수 있을 것입니다.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
