Ethics of Ambiguity

The Ethics of Ambiguity, by Jean-Paul Sartre, explores how individuals face uncertainty about their purpose and morality. It emphasizes that life’s inherent ambiguities require us to create our own meaning through our choices and actions, rather than relying on fixed rules or external authorities. Being authentic involves embracing this uncertainty, taking responsibility for our freedom, and acting ethically despite the unpredictability of consequences. Essentially, it encourages us to accept ambiguity as part of human existence and to shape our lives consciously and courageously through our decisions.
