On that date night, Sartre heard: Hey dude, want some existential crises from a woman's perspective?And they became partners, intellectual, romantic and lifelong.
From ana theistic perspective there is no objective morals it's all subjective so you can't speak about morals from an atheistic perspective And that's what faced Emanuel Kant when he tried to establish objective morals in an atheistic view.
nah. as a "greatest imperative" it is certainly questionable, and looking at it in a scope of many schools of moral philosophies, it's not entirely unproblematic.

He wasn't. He lied about him being part of the french resistance (Beauvoir supported his lies), and repeatedly attacked Albert Camus who was the real nice guy and philosopher that backed his words with actions. Sartre was an a-hole, and Beauvoir not far from it. You should read Michel Onfray's "L'ordre libertaire", it does have a brilliant chapter about Sartre.

If it shapes your life,ideas are used to burden our existence, when it should have been kept simple,don't need to feel restricted, redefine our limits, the pursuit of an ideal, a controversial life is not for everyone✅
How brilliant 😭 Possibly the most fascinating thing about knowledge is that it cannot wane, it can only become greater. The fact that de Beauvoir could come up with these brilliant seminal ideas and that decades later other researchers could (and can) build up on that with newer knowledge and a newer understanding of the world so that the brilliant essence of the original idea can become more universal and help many more of us to understand and endure our lives better, is such an extraordinary thing.

for me simone de beauvoir is such an inspiring female philosopher, her works, books were inspirational, and it has very powerful meaning behind it, she's very creative and wise on her works
This is exactly correct. Create your own freedom and allow (or even; help) others to do the same. Do whatever you want (that makes you happy), as long as you do not prohibit others from practicing their freedom as you do. I have lived this way for about 12 years now (my life is a long story that I won't tell at this particular moment) and I am becoming happier and happier (and more one with myself) for every day that passes. I am also helping my girlfriend to become more aware of her power in CHOICES (that; everything in life, is a result of previous choices made by oneself, in one form or another). She's making very fast progress and it makes me a very happy man to both live the way that I want to and to see her smile when she wakes up, eager to become more powerful and to find herself.
The meaning of life for me is to be happy and learn. Learning could mean realising you have changed in personality over a year. contradictorily, I also believe that life doesn’t have or need a meaning to be fulfilling. Life is just something we do in between periods of unconsciousness and we do whatever we can during life. We care for people around us and try to be nice and contribute to society.
I also agree that to be happy is the meaning of life. But at the same time life is meaningless. Let me expand it. Imagine life is a movie and we are characters in it. Our role is to be happy. The meaningless part of this is for what this movie has been shot. it is my opinion how ridiculous 😅

“Created the foundations of Existentialism” ??? I guess Kierkegaard and Nietzsche came after de Beauvoir. I’m a fan of her thinking but this is a misleading statement. Her concept of freedom is well expressed.
It is more about the symbolism or if you would prefere propaganda, if you consider that she wasn't the creator of existentialism. And out there are similar misconceptions.
isn't Nietzsche closer to nihilism? ive been told that's why schools and others dont count both kierkegaard and Nietzsche as existentialist bc their theories and beliefs are more on the "life has no meaning, there's no point in it" outlook while existentialist believe life has no strict meaning but whatever the individual gives it?
Kierkegaard was the one who first used "existential" to refer to the human condition of freedom and how overwhelming it can be. He can be considered the true father of existentialism if you'd like to see it that way but his notion of existentialism was very different to what was more broadly known as such and his solution was to "take a leap of faith". Satre and de Beauvoir were who really developed and defined existentialism as became widespread, even if they took inspiration from Kierkegaard and Nietzsche. Also kinda unrelated but Nietzsche was more of a vitalist/proto-existentialist than a nihilist, he spoke a lot about nihilism but steered away from it, seeing it as "the easy way out"

Legend!- wait for it - dary
I was looking for the answer of "Meaning of life" as titled. But it was more of a short biography 🥴
Life is easy, love and inner peace
Of course parts of her life are controversial, wanting to change the age of consent in France from 15 to lower ages is bad.
It should be noted that it was not only de Beauvoir advocating it. Sartre, Roland Barthes, Michel Foucault, and Jacques Derrida were also supporters of the abrogation of the age of consent.
@@rjimpervious8261 and the worst is that many of them are called " inspiring" by many people who are naive or dishonest to admit that she along the others you mentioned are messed up people.
@@sebastianmunozochoa1485 Most people think philosophy is the bible whatever kind of philosophy it is, especially the cheapest one, the inmoral one. Not all philosophers say the truth. Don't believe a word of what she said.
@@melissanunez9266 There are parts of the Bible that are not bad ideas , but also common sense. The problem with de Beauvoir is that she said that women should be respected, she seduced young women but hated when Sartre was nice to them .
She loved the Soviet Union but never lived there.
@@rjimpervious8261 There was also Françoise Dolto, who was a...pediatrician, and a quite influential one to say the least.
These videos are amazing, so wholesome
Following the footage of a person is not always good, sometimes think out of the box and break the laws is way a legend born
And also how idiots appear,i mean there are laws for a reason.
Romanian Székely it is depend on how you break. It is right that many idiots appear like you said, but many legend appear too. Like Alain Badiou said philosophy make people fall into decadence, and law not always right
Breaking the laws often comes with people who have an innvation mind in their brain, and you can turn that into your succeed or your worst nightmare depend on your choice
Great video! Should let others see this too.
I think the meaning of life is to do something, like anything that can benefit or not benefit people, It doesn't matter what you do it's what will be the outcome will be.
Glorious purpose! 👍
I'm interested in her thinking but this is definitely an idealistic thoughts that can possibly cause harm in social fabric.
She was... just... I can't even explain. ❤🥺
Id love to see more videos like these. Nothing too ambitious, just an impression of the meaning of someones work. There should be one for every major thinker.
Love this video. Nice background music. Puts on the perfect theme.
Great video, it is beautiful. I wonder why existencialism is not talked about this days, maybe because we are living in a shallow era of domination where thinking about freedom is seen as an economic problem
Awesome and informative video
I consider Ted-ed videos to be the best educational videos on RUclips. However, being honest, I couldn't quite recognise where exactly you talked about "the meaning of life according to Simon de Beauvoir" in the video. The fact that the actual content was only of less than a minute and that it was lost in a 5 min long video was a little disturbing. But still, thanks a lot for making these videos.🙌
love the illustrations
The meaning of life, is when a creature is not dead.
Big brain.
Nice graphics.!! Congrats.
@TEDEx, will you be interested in making a video that goes deeper into this philosophy? I find your videos often to be very good in explaining complicated topics.
@Asim Malik That sounds rather boring to me.
Nice animation and voice over 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😄😄😄
2:17- Nice Easter egg including Camus as one of the guys.
Also Maurice Merlau-Ponty
If eu can accept that life is an adventure and consciously choose that adventure it begains to matter less weather ur experience here is good r bad because I'll experience is so valuable
At the age of 11 I started question my existence,my meaning,my purpose. I am now 17 and I have formulated a simple approach to the big questions. My universal meaning of life is to simply enjoy what is given,to compare when one is eating a slice of cake does one ask why this cake? How was it made? What is it made of? What to do with it? No, one just enjoys it.
Chocolate cake or cup cakes?
Ok get it! The meaning of life is
TO EAT CAKES 😂
Just joking friend, i appreciate your thoughts
Yeah give it a couple of years, that will change
Awesome video
She masters philosophy and is the first youngest person to do it.As soon as she took the exam and now her mission is to BREAK them! Wow! Something really happened during her childhood that she made this as a goal and thats why she was the youngest because she was trying her best when she was younger too! I really want to know the reason what happened during her childhood that made her to pick this goal!
Nice piece of work TED-Ed!
The meaning of life is simple
*Live*
the meaning of life... 42

I love ted-ed videos
Sartre’s animation in this one is hilarious and endearingly dopey
I like the narration, the narrator did a good job.
