Today's blog: in advance of next week's BookTalk on Simone de Beauvoir's novel The Mandarins we're getting to grips with existentialist thought.
In an interview from 1959, Beauvoir discusses her athiesm and her belief in examining the individual conscience.

Existentialism and God over on the blog this week:
'...we consider good all that serves the interests, happiness, development of Man. And evil is all that goes against it. This is absolutely the fundamental basis of what we may call our ethics, or even morals.’
