Beauvoir as situated subject
the ambiguities of life in world war ii france
pp. 175-185

In her work on existentialist ethics, Pour une moral de l'ambiguïté, Simone de Beauvoir argues that the struggle against oppression sometimes justifies the sacrifice of life. I explore how her position on this issue was influenced by her reactions to events before and during World War II
