摘要
This research explores how existentialism intersects with the pursuit of happiness in contemporary continental philosophy, analyzing the works of Sartre, Camus, and de Beauvoir. It delves into the complexities inherent in seeking happiness, including individual existence, freedom, and meaning. Specifically, it examines Simone de Beauvoir's concept of ambiguity and its role in human existence and freedom. Ethical considerations regarding the pursuit of happiness are raised, alongside an analysis of how existential ambiguity influences one's journey towards happiness and reveals moral implications. By examining these ethical ambiguities, the paper contributes to contemporary discourse on existentialism, highlighting the tension between freedom, meaning, and happiness in human existence marked by uncertainty.
