It'll be interesting to see what I make of it! My exposure to Beauvoir is mostly via feminist academics complaining about men misreading her so said men can namedrop her in defence of their own unrelated or contradictory ideas, so apart from anything I have been intending to read at some point to see what I make of those claims. :D
I think for me the heart and humanity of the analytic canon lies between the lines. There is nothing like seeing a furious, unreasonable mob failing to appreciate the difference between necessary and sufficient conditions to give one an appreciation for a tradition which carefully delineates differences like that one. :P I appreciate that the analytic tradition concerns itself only with the business of what is true, and tries to limit itself to modest claims. But then, when I am very sad, reading science cheers me up.
