DE BEAUVOIR, Simone. The Ethics of Ambiguity. New York: Citadel Press, 1976. Later Printing. 8vo. Perfect bound into Wrappers. New. 159pp. de Beauvoir penetrates at once to the central ethical problem of modern man: what shall he do, how shall he go about making values, in the face of his awareness of the absurdity of his existence? She forces the reader to face the absurdity of the human condition and then, having done so, proceeds to develop a dialect of ambiguity which will enable him not to master the chaos, but to create with it.
