The Ethics of Ambiguity

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source

The Ethics of Ambiguity (French title: Pour une morale de l'ambiguïté) is Simone de Beauvoir's second major essay, nearly twice as long as her first, Pyrrhus and Cineas. After giving a lecture in 1945, she found herself claiming that it was possible to base an ethic upon the foundations of Sartre's L'Etre et le Néant, and a year later she took up the challenge, taking some six months over the task and publishing the text first in installments in Les Temps modernes, then as a book in November 1947.
