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 what she terms "sophisms", that is plausible but ultimately bad arguments, that conservatives make about freedom in order to justify remaining in and even reinforcing situations of oppression from which they benefit.
