Spanish to English translations [Non-PRO] Social Sciences - Philosophy / quote | | Spanish term or phrase: en las ocupaciones | "La vida común de dos seres libres es para ambos un enriquecimiento, y en las ocupaciones del otro cada uno encuentra el estimulo de su propia independencia."
from Simone de Beauvoir's "The Second Sex", I'm not sure about the "en las occupaciones del otro" part. Is she saying something "in occupying oneself with the other", or "in taking care of the other".
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you |
