I love sitting down with Skye C Cleary because I love philosophers and especially female philosophers! This was a treat for me. Not only is Skye a philosopher, she is an author - her most recent book "How to be Authentic. Simone de Beauvoir and the Quest for Fulfillment".
She also teaches at Columbia University and the City University of New York. I could go on and on about her achievements. But, what I want you to know is that our conversation revolved around a well-known existential female philosopher (Simone de Beauvoir) and how her beliefs are relevant today. What is fulfillment? What does it mean to be authentic? What is happiness? How does our impending death inform us about the lives we lead? How do women perceive these concepts and major milestones in life differently from men?
