The Ethics of Ambiguity Book by Simone de Beauvoir

The Ethics of Ambiguity (1947) is a seminal existentialist work by Simone de Beauvoir that argues for an ethics based on human freedom rather than absolute moral laws. Prompted by her own critique of Jean-Paul Sartre's Being and Nothingness, she sought to prove that existentialism—which emphasizes individual freedom—could indeed provide a coherent foundation for morality.
