Freedom and Responsibility: Applying Simone de Beauvoir's Existentialism for the 21st Century

Dive deep into the often-misunderstood philosophy of Simone de Beauvoir, moving beyond her iconic work "The Second Sex" to explore her profound contributions to existentialist ethics. This video isn't just for feminists; it's for anyone seeking to live a more authentic and meaningful life. We'll unpack Beauvoir's concept of "bad faith" – the self-deception we engage in to avoid the freedom and responsibility of creating our own values. We'll explore how bad faith manifests in the digital age (social media, echo chambers, cancel culture), in our relationships, our careers, and even in our response to existential anxiety. Discover practical steps to cultivate radical self-honesty, embrace ambiguity, and take responsibility for your choices, drawing directly from Beauvoir's work and expanding it through a modern, intersectional lens. Learn how to treat others as subjects, not objects, and engage in meaningful action to create a more just and equitable world. This is a journey towards radical freedom and a challenge to live authentically in a world that constantly tries to define you.
