description

Simone de Beauvoir perceives existentialism as a philosophy of ambiguity, suggesting that a man should reconcile the contradictions of the human condition. The philosophical essays of the author show the evolution of her thinking. Beauvoir discovers the paradoxes of existentialism, mainly the antimony between responsibility and powerlessness of an individual. Her work captures an image of reality while relativizing philosophical values and maintaining the opposites. Her texts show the ambivalent attitude of the author to existence. Thus, they reflect her point of view, according to which moral consciousness only exists when a person experiences some intellectual dissonance or a sense of failure. Then, according to Beauvoir, life becomes meaningful through action enabled by free choice.
