Abstract:
By its very nature, existential philosophy is a male-dominated discipline of philosophy. However, it would be a mistake to overlook the role that women played in shaping the philosophy that is now associated with selfish authenticity, independence, and freedom, as well as the languishing associated with discovering the true meaning of life, given that we are born into nothing with only one certainty: death. To properly comprehend and explain these gender interactions, psychologists must combine a broader range of studies. Willy Apollon's Four Seasons in Femininity or Four Men in a Woman's Life (1993) and David and Brannon's Four Rules for Establishing Masculinity (1976) are projected onto Sartre's connection with women and position on and within existential philosophy in this critical review
