The Ethics of Ambiguity
Manage episode 333404868 series 3326719
John and Danny muse on Simone de Beauvoir's classic book "The Ethics of Ambiguity" (1948), which explores the existentialist tension between absolute freedom of choice and the constraints of life’s givens. We explore de Beauvoir's powerful analysis of the five types of people who are not free, discuss their relevance and application in everyday life, and consider the responsibility we have to others in the actualization of their freedom too.
