I love that she calls him Sartre even though he's literally her boyfriend

Two absolute legends. So cool to actually hear their voice.

“We were two of a kind, and our relationship would endure as long as we did: but it could not make up entirely for the fleeting riches to be had from encounters with different people.” - Simone de Beauvoir, on her relationship with Sartre. Thank you for sharing this video.

Lovely one. We are lucky to witness their direct interview

They are legends indeed. I often feel conflicted on how here they mention living their relationship "unfortunately, at the expense of others". What they thought about the age of consent and the affairs they had with underage teenagers is always very confusing given how consistent they were with everything else.

Haha! C'est super intéressant de voir la dynamique qu'ils avaient en action de voir comment De Beauvoir sauta sur l'occasion de se faire entendre et la réaction de Sartre de simplement la laisser s'exprimer. Quel utilisation simple et directe du mot reproduction en relation à la question d'avoir des enfants, ça me donne l'impression qu'ils avaient tous deux un certain sens de l'humour.

Great to see these titans of the intellect battling it out on the checkers board.

I fucking love those two, and I think “The Ethics of Ambiguity” is one of the most incredible and important books ever written!

they playing at the end...😍

so nice to watch this couple. More please.

Sartre always have 2 visions on any subject. 👀 Great dialogue , jokes apart :)

Absolutely great

anyone know where they are in this clip? almost looks like italy. also wondering what video the clip is taken from

Very good!

Can we get the full interview?

What were they doing during WW2? Resistance? No. The anti-bourgeois were becoming bourgeois. Vladimir Jankelevich, french philosopher and war resistant was not tender with Sartre. He questioned Jean-Paul Sartre's attitude during the war: "There was certainly a complex in Sartre, who came from I do not know where, which meant that he did nothing during the war. Simone de Beauvoir said: "For us who did not want to consent to the triumph of the Reich and who did not dare to expect its defeat, it was such an ambiguous period that the very memory I kept of it was blurred." Sartre's engagement after the war was a kind of sickly compensation, a remorse, a search for danger that he had not wanted to run during the war . He invested everything in the post-war period, putting himself in danger - which were no longer dangerous, it did not replace, and he felt it. Braving the cops during a demonstration is good, it's better than nothing, but when you were Sartre's age, the age to do your duty during the war, why did you wait? But Simone de Beauvoir said it, she tells how, at the time of the Liberation, Sartre walked through the barricades to see how it was going, but he continued to do nothing, he represented the Flies, les Mouches. "There were very young people in the Resistance," continues the philosopher, "and people who did not have the culture of Jean-Paul Sartre [...]. They had understood what Jean-Paul Sartre had not understood. " Michel Onfray, french philosopher who studied philosophy in the 1970s was captivated by Sartre's charms. The trendy thing was to adopt the positions of Sartre and his associates in a sometimes violent ideological debate - against the unfashionable Camus. Onfray was in his 20s in the '70s. Did he too "fall" into that trap? "Of course, during that period I preferred Sartre, because I was a victim of the legend the Sartre-Simone de Beauvoir couple created around themselves. They pursued publicity. Beauvoir wrote the memoir that was published by the publisher I admired at the time (Gallimard ), but Beauvoir lied, censored and hid many things. I believed what I read, because at the age of 20 you don't yet have the critical vision that enables you to discern the human comedy. While they lived, Sartre and Beauvoir made sure to check every line published about them. Only after their death, the publication of books of their letters, biographies and testimonies began to reveal the deceptions and lies they had spread: Sartre didn't escape from the stalag as he had written, but rather was released thanks to the intervention of Drieu La Rochelle, a writer known as a collaborator with the Nazis; Sartre was not active in the Resistance, but rather in 1941 and also in 1944 wrote and published in the collaborators' newspaper Comoedia. "That newspaper also named him 'Writer of the year' in 1943. Sartre himself asked the paper's director to help Simone de Beauvoir get accepted to work at the Petain government's station Radio Vichy, and indeed she worked there in 1944. I didn't know all these facts when I was 20 years old." In Onfray's opinion, Sartre conducted himself throughout his life like a student: "He thought and wrote like a student at the school of higher education he attended. In his book 'The Words,' he writes that he was interested in only one thing: a place in the history of literature. His life was opportunistic and cynical, and he did everything he could to achieve his goal."

fascinating, good to see Beauvoir getting the recognition and Sartre being deferential in the discussion of women's liberation

She doesn't want her kid to look like Sartre

More on these two please

I dont agree, i dont see eye to eye with Jean Paul Sartre.

Priceless!

she's extremely smart, she speaks eloquently.

It would be a privilege to meet with Sartre.

The Fred and Rose West of French philosophy.

Sartre is great mind that is hardly to we find like it

Sartre blink with eye and Simone loves him.

oh! how i love checkers!

If the idea of "lived experienced" holds the highest priority, the whole essence of discussion in any topic becomes a waste of time. With respect to this particular issue on Gender, the so calles lived experience differs between men and women. So, does it mean men and women can never understand each other and the whole idea of men's rights or women's rights is pointless? A psychologist need not suffer from trauma to help a patient with PTSD. A male gynecologist has a better understanding on premenstrual syndrome and menopause than a common women. Hence, I believe any criticism or contradiction to someone's statement should come from the basis of a deeper understanding of the subject rather than a superificial judgement on gender.

What a beautiful relationship..

And he called her castor. They used the formal therm of address as it was in old times.

Not having children was the right choice for them.

Elle dit vrai " elle se suffisait". Dans le livre de Gilbert Joseph (une si douce occupation, Simone de Besuvoir et Jean-Paul Sartre 1940 - 1944. Page 123 " elle n'aimait pas les enfants, donc elle ne se laissait pas exploiter par l'homme.

Please, PO, let us enjoy your videos!!! Only two per week, PLEASE!!!!! Give us TIME

I can't believe I almost got a doctorate on JP...Am 60 now, ended up at VEDANTA.

Which one is Sartre and which de Beauvoir?

I did not understate the point. What that means :expense of others?

sartre is a true beauty so is beauvoir. but sartre more

and women can't share the "lived experience" of men, which might dramatically change. In her context there was absolutely no need to point that out, but that was long ago.

To quote Spengler: "When the ordinary thought of a highly cultivated people begins to regard “having children” as a question of pro’s and con’s, the great turning point has come. For Nature knows nothing of pro and con…. When reasons have to be put forward at all in a question of life, life itself has become questionable."

Simone de Beauvoir was a very interesting woman. She really loved a lot other fellow women... Especially underaged ones... She liked them young, very young...

I was hoping they would talk extensively about the pimping and rape of underage girls, matters on which they had such a rich and varied experience.

Does anybody knows the year of this interview?

You can just feel Nelson Algren seething.

Beautiful video

The translation is quite misleading; they don’t talk to each other via “you”, “vous” in French is a non-gendered politeness form used as “sir” or “madame”. Simone de Beauvoir even refers to her partner by his family name, “Sartre”. They are talking to each other as if they were strangers.

i was watching the video and was like, cool, i've got a chance to watch an interview with renowned thinkers of the past century. but then i made an obvious mistake of scrolling through the comments. when will we ever learn

No comment.

So they were together?

Deux enchantés vieilles.

This was a Simone clip, not a Sartre one

They were a grotesque display of narcissism.

I always had a problem with the term "lived experience." You should be able to present your case with empirically verifiable evidence that is accessible to everyone. Otherwise, you're really no different than mystics who claim to possess special knowledge about the divine.

“Men don’t think the way women do” Is this not a sentiment which has been asserted to oppress women throughout history?

Sartre has cataract in both eyes

Never noticed how much Beauvoir looks like Gary Oldman

They stopped to have sex with each other 2 years after they met (Source: Bianca Lamblin "Mémoire d'une jeune fille dérangée"). This is the reality of this "true love". Beauvoir was a "rabatteuse" for Sartre.

The way he looks at her ❤️

Isn’t Simon de Beauvoir the one with multiple relationships with men?

crazy people...

A very controversial philosopher, but who awakened sleeping reason and drunken consciousness

How is sartre actually pronounced

Strange way of thinking about a child being either a model of the father or the mother. Why not seeing other people as who they are for themselves?

^Architects of the culture of death^

i want what they had

even for a simple relationship looks like very complicated. LOL

Sartre was a beta and a geek for this.

It never ceases to amaze me how feminists can try to lecture men about how men don't understand women's "lived experiences", while simultaneously minimizing and outright ignoring men describing their own lived experiences, and trying to lecture men about what men's lived experiences are despite being women. Sartre is trying to use reason to justify his points, while Beauvoir is simply making emotional appeals.

Toda rota Simone

standpoint epistemology is market liberalism

She berates him for not having the lived experience of a woman after discovering that he is pro-feminist? That’s pretty toxic.

Bizarre, en tant que femme.

They look excatly like what i think philosophers from the 80s would look like

madness

Eu não vou discutir. É uma questão judaica e ninguém mais foi convidado. Eu não discuto filosofia semita fora do meu círculo. Você não entende guerra desde a raiz e quer opinar de orelhudo, sem passar pelo método ou estudá-lo. Quer fácil. Agradeça que mastigam tudo para você, em sua ignorância. Por mim, já teriam chamado o exército para executar metidos a besta. Os que já foram da JDL perderam a paciência já.

Great philosopher poor humanity

This is amazing because I've recently seen some trans activists quoting De Beauvoir to support the idea that gender is entirely constructed, yet, here she is saying women and men think differently and he doesn't share that lived experience. 🤯

I think at this stage in their life, they lived and saw everything that was to see. They knewt it that death is coming, they saw too much of 20th century. these people never had children because they sacrifice everything for the intellectual writing artists life

1.00 Simone says a man cannot have the oives experience of a woman

Relativist Sophists

Two people that did so much to ruin the lives of so many with their ideas.

I don't get why Shes important at all, your lived experience doesn't dictate objectivity, this is a childs argument

I am a feminist and I really love his philosophy very much😍💖💖💖

For anyone who doesn't understand what they're talking about half way through, they're referring to using people as "third wheels" in threesomes, as though they were little more than playthings. I'm not discounting the worth of everything they said - Sartre seems to make a (rare) good point about gender intersectionality - but it's difficult to see them as anything other than just another lascivious bourgeois power couple.

Beauvoir makes two assumptions: 1. True understanding is first hand experience 2. Women have feelings that men do not. I think I take issue with both of these statements. The first implies that we cannot understand one another. Or perhaps only a type can understand its own type. I shouldn't have to explain how dangerous of a sentiment this is. The second implies that the varying shades of emotion are not universal. This doesn't sound right; how else can words like indignant, pensive, somber, irascible, ponderous, mournful, bitter, etc. exist if they do not describe states of mind accessible to all? If we do not have similar experiences and emotions, then we would not be able to communicate. These words would be meaningless. To give her the benefit of the doubt, maybe she's referring to nuanced and specific emotions that don't have names (which are probably just mixtures of recognizable emotions). But even then, how can you claim those specific emotions are shared by women as a whole, and yet haven't been given a name, haven't been abstracted into a concept that can be communicated and therefore understood by others? Unlikely in my estimation. And again, dangerous.

Strange philosophers and sometimes dangerous.

A toad of a man and a domineering woman both believing they have outplayed their own human existence with intellectual pretension. A miserable relationship indeed.

result of the experience: it fails

So ,according to Beauvoir, men cant understand the "lived experience of women", but women can understand the same of men and demand equality? It sound to me she is, perhaps not comprehending that herself, is making an argument against equality with that statement. At best. At worst, she is maing an argument for segregation or more segregation.

Um sapo caolho que defendeu Stalin e depois Mão......

They're dead. Viva la philosophie!!!

i want what they had :(

I havent read the work of Beauvoir yet. The Second Sex is waiting for me in my library. But i wanted to ask beforehand since some of you have already studied her. The whole "lived experience" and "what it means to be a woman" sounds kinda transphobic to me. Does any of you know if Beauvoir had any transphobic views?

She friendzoned him haha

What a weird zombie relationship.

These were two deeply flawed and damaged people. You should at least consider their perspectives on life, but hold them and their ideology to no higher regard than anyone else.

Haha Sartre was such a Simp!

I love how she had nerveous breakdowns because of the shit she was producing in the name of REVOLUTION, but sobbing alone in the dark room, due to the narratives she was selling would be so traumatizing to her.

Of course this video has 80k views more than the average vid on this channel, feminism is a buzzword people are drawn to 😂
