Thank you for making the show possible. 🙂 Today we talk about Simone De Beauvoir's conclusion to her work The Ethics of Ambiguity.

Thank you for wanting to know more today than you did yesterday. :)
Thank you for this!!! Really helped me with my college philosophy class.
I completely loved this series on Simone De Beauvoir! I was just relistening to some old episodes of yours and realized it's been so long since we visited The Island. Though truthfully political philosophy is my least favorite I've come to miss that strange little island in our heads. I am but a humble listener, but I think De Beauvoir's belief that true freedom is only possible by maximizing the freedom of others serves as a nice segue back into the political stuff. I'm sure you have a whole slew of episodes planned up, but it'd be great to dust off our swim trunks for a return visit.
Thanks for uploading your videos on CZcams. A lot of people I talk to about your show are super interested in your topics, but sadly, do not have Spotify. They're already on the binge-watching haha.
Oppressors gonna oppress - great podcast!
If I pass my ethics final tomorrow the credit is all yours my man. Ill be coming back as well, the way you teach these topics is actually interesting.
sooo....? Pass?

This is so helpful to my life and my purpose right now, thank you S W!!
Remarkable, amazing. Thanks for doing this.
TIL of the straight line that goes from de Beauvoir's definition of oppression to Karl Popper's paradox of tolerance.
The last part reminds me of the paradox of tolerance by karl popper
Do you have the transcript to this episode somewhere? I looked and it's missing from your site. Please and thank you!
Looks like this episode is without transcript. Autogenerated subtitles on youtube work well enough.
It is truly difficult to "deprogram" yourself from the "cult" (bias) of habit, tradition, family, culture, historical time, religion, etc. Better to accept the impossibility of being totally objective and work with what you are and have.
i'm a nietzschean and i have a question. when you say freedom of others, who are these others? all humans? do neanderthals count? at what point in evolution can you put your finger and say "this fellow's freedom is irrelevant" ? and if you don't, are you supposed to value the freedom of a human as much as a mosquito? surely not. then why *all* humans? why not only white people for example? nietzsche wasn't that selfish, he cared about "fellow creators" and the "overman" a lot. is that enough? why not?
it seams to me (and i'm probably wrong) De Beauvoir seems like a good, kind, extraverted woman and nietzsche seems like an elitist far right introverted man, and they both sneak their biases in. i'm more like nietzsche (in fact, having asperger's i'm way more solitary in nature, and being 99th percentile in disagreeableness, way more elitist) so i'm probably biased too, but his philosophy seems more aligned with evolution. i don't get this part at all.
The biases part I don't get, but the point about humans is interesting. I guess the reasoning behind granting humans superiority is selfish in its own way.
I see extending it to the whole being and conscius universe is mor appropriate, rather than narrowing it to superoverwhite men. These are views about the universe and the conscious coinside of the universe.
It's weird how anti-fascists look so very similar to fascists. At the end of the day if you're not a member of the larger tribe, watch out. If you're labeling people to justify violence, you are the problem. Odds are you have labeled that person incorrectly, and have denied their ambiguity.
