Sartre’s late Hope Now ideas emerged from Beauvoir’s notion of reciprocal self-abandon
Evidence
If Beauvoir could have been Sartre’s sounding board once again and thus have discussed his ideas with him as they were evolving, she certainly would have been more accepting of his Hope Now ideas. She would have realized that they were actually the dénouement of her notion of reciprocal self-abandon to the other, which Sartre had integrated with his, under her mentorship, in the Entretiens. And she would have been quite surprised to discover the fundamental role she had played in bringing about the selftransformation/ triangulation that he achieved during his last years. — Christine Daigle, Jacob Golomb (eds.), Beauvoir and Sartre, 156
