4.  Two Varieties of Existentialism

Jonathan Webber argues that Beauvoir and Sartre held different varieties of existentialism in 1943. Beauvoir's variety, which includes the idea of sedimentation that she later relies on in The Second Sex, is dramatised in her novel She Came To Stay. This sedimentation is incompatible with Sartre's theory of radical freedom in Being and Nothingness.
