Age and aging are pressing social-political issues. Yet, philosophers still have not paid sufficient attention to one of the major explorations of this topic, Simone de Beauvoir's seminal work The Coming of Age (1970). For much too long, it has been overshadowed by her other groundbreaking work, The Second Sex (1949). Now, for the first time, this volume focuses on Beauvoir's essay on old age and critically explores its significance from a phenomenological and feminist perspective. International Beauvoir scholars and renowned feminist phenomenologists from Europe and North America offer a unique look at one of the 20th century's most outstanding existential-philosophical studies on age and aging. Thematically, the articles and short comments collected in this volume cover three main issues which are crucial with respect to an investigation of Beauvoir's study on age: gender, ethics, and time. The volume essentially contributes to Beauvoir studies, aging studies, cultural and gender studies, feminist theory, phenomenology, and existential philosophy.

Amour et pouvoir. Sexe et révolte. Eros et Polis. Autant de duos thématiques qui passent pour difficiles à intégrer de façon couplée à une fiction romanesque. Stendhal en proscrivait l'alliance, tenant que les affaires publiques, toujours plus ou moins vulgaires, n'avaient pas à être mêlées aux affaires privées, plus raffinées. Et pourtant, tout au long du XXe siècle et selon des formules variables, le roman de langue française n'a guère cessé de mettre en scène ces deux registres éminents de l'activité humaine, tantôt pour les unir et tantôt pour les mettre en conflit.A chaque fois l'entreprise avait quelque chose de risqué : bien souvent on y touchait à des tabous et quelques-unes des oeuvres qui sont ici commentées ont choqué ou fait scandale. Le volume commence avec Proust, Desnos et Aragon, pour arriver à Ernaux, Houellebecq, Chessex et Carrère.
