AS INSEPARÁVEIS, DE SIMONE DE BEAUVOIR

POR UMA EPISTEMOLOGIA DO (NÃO) SER

Abstract

This paper discusses the notions of being and not being under the sophistical perspective, which, by stating that neither being nor not being is not (DINUCCI, 2008a, 2008b; CASSIN, 2005), establishes a new way of conceiving also the individual, no longer being tied, nor his identity, to a truth or essence to be sought inside or outside himself, that is, based on the ontology of being. The discourse, as a new, unique and unrepeatable event, is responsible for the changes operated in the individual and in his identity, that is, if each new enunciation constitutes a new event, the non-being cannot be considered, from this perspective, as the instaurer of change, of individual and/or collective transformation. This theme is discussed here in the light of an autobiographical narrative, namely: The Inseparables, by Simone de Beauvoir (2021).
