In order to solve the problem of the male “Master”/female “Slave” analogy, what I want to argue is that Beauvoir undertakes an implicit full-scale deconstructive approach to the dialectic in which we can trace the infi nite movement of diff érance between Hegel’s text and her own. — Christine Daigle, Jacob Golomb (eds.), Beauvoir and Sartre, 268
