This examination of Simone de Beauvoir's form of existentialism pays special attention to her work, "The Ethics of Ambiguity", in which de Beauvoir draws from many thinkers in the continental tradition to argue that one's own freedom is intertwined with that of others.
Simone de Beauvoir published a number of philosophical essays and novels before writing The Second Sex. The most important of these was The Ethics of Ambiguity, in which she argues that one's freedom is always intertwined with that of others. The Bonds of Freedom examines de Beauvoir's ideas on ethics, demonstrating her importance in contemporary philosophy.
