Must reading for any thoughtful human being!
The Ethics of Ambiguity by the fabulous female French philosopher par excellence Simone de Beauvoir is must reading for any thinking person in today's complicated world. It is a supreme refutation of absolutist thinking and an antidote to a bifurcated society such as the one we are currently experiencing. Life does not lend itself to black and white all or nothing solutions. It is a conundrum replete with self-contradictions and inherent mazes which Simone so deftly explicates and unpacks for us. The overriding challenge for all living beings is death and our consciousness of it makes for an ambiguous and contingent existence. Life is a fluid enterprise full of surprises at every turn. Can one be a lifelong democrat? A royalist? A republican? A theist? An atheist? Or do pass through phases marked by ambiguous and sometimes absurd outcomes? Simone de Beauvoir comprehends and relishes this state of our being which argues against any static worldview or established idea in favor of freedom and continuity.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
