What is the theme in The Ethics of Ambiguity; by Simone De Beauvoir?

Development is another theme in the book. The aim of every human life is to be free, Beauvoir claims. We are born with an internal drive to go beyond our own being, to become more than we were before. Our existence in this way seeks to move forward and disclose itself to the wider world. As children, we have no real essence or personality but are driven forward to develop into a being with a self-constructed essence. Yet, this developmental process can be slowed down and even completely halted into a handful of destructive stages. All of these dysfunctional categories of men are guilty of "bad faith" or of believing in something they know to be false and who hide themselves from the truth.
