Document Summary
This paper will be described in depth to how one, a student in my case, could be acting in forms of bad faith referring to the ethics of ambiguity by simone de beauvoir. It is through the forms of bad faith that brings harm to others. The four forms of bad faith mentioned by de. Beauvoir include the sub person, serious person, the nihilist, and the adventurer. The forms of bad faith is our way of escaping the anguish that ambiguity causes either by collapsing our transcendence into facticity or vice versa. We are all born with genuine freedom in which we have the choice to possess it. According to de beauvoir, projects of bad faith ultimately aim at fleeing our freedom. Before knowing the forms of bad faith, one must know and understand what it is to be human. Being human is not to be just a thing.
