    Beauvoir's ethics of ambiguity and human rights
    (Philippine Natl Philosophical Res Soc, 2017) Department of Philosophy; Şimga, Fatma Hülya; Faculty Member; Department of Philosophy; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 47321
    This paper focuses on Simone de Beauvoir 's ethics. My aim is to discuss the intimate relation of freedom and rights in order to suggest that the ethical implications ofher phenomenological-existentialist analysis of the human condition, developed mainly in The ethics of ambiguity, can make a valuable contribution to ethical value and corroboration of human rights, the conceptual grounding ofwhich is sometimes received with intellectual skepticism. I argue that in Beauvoir's ethical theory, grounded on the will to freedom, not only do rights become more intelligible but their significance also becomes more communicable. By making freedom conditional upon willing not only that oneself be free but that everyone else may also be free, Beauvoir advances a universal demand for the most basic conditions necessary for individuals to realize themselves. Accordingly, Beauvoir's conception of genuinefreedom, incorporating the value offreedom and the duty to act in recognition of this value, gives us the possibility to argue for the requisite freedoms as well as the necessity to substantiate these freedoms in human rights.

    Dispossession(S) and Judith Butler's ethics of humanization
    (Universitatea din Craiova, 2014) Department of Philosophy; Şimga, Fatma Hülya; Faculty Member; Department of Philosophy; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 47321
    This paper takes up the question of the "human" as Butler discusses this in its relation to "intelligibility," "critique," "the opacity of the subject" and "dispossession." I believe that Butler's perspective helps us not only to understand the terms of dehumanization but also offers ways of conceptualizing a more humane world. I argue that a major concern for Butler is a sort of humanism arising from the awareness of the primordial relationality of our existence and of our lives, which we pursue in a primary sociality as interdependent embodied beings.
