Read by Adriel Brandt
Beauvoir confronts the existentialist dilemma of absolute freedom vs. the constraints of circumstance. In this classic introduction to existentialist thought, arguing that the freedoms in existentialism carry with them certain ethical responsibilities.
The Ethics of Ambiguity remains a concise yet thorough examination of existence & what it means to be human. Ultimately, de Beauvoir argues that in order to achieve true freedom, one must battle against the choices and activities of those who suppress it.
