This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century existentialist and feminist philosopher, novelist, essayist, and playwright Simone de Beauvoir's book, The Ethics of Ambiguity It focuses specifically on the contempt for both humanity as a whole and for individual human beings that is displayed by some people in the use of their own freedom. She notes that this generally involves the reduction of persons to things, taking away their transcendence and viewing them only in their facticity or immanence.
