| Resumo: | Simone de Beauvoir (1908-1986) in For a moral of ambiguity (2005 [1947]), specifically in the topic entitled “The aesthetic attitude”, devoted herself to thinking a conception of aesthetics through the existentialist definition of freedom. Freedom, as an original human movement, is what allows the subject to discover the reason for their own actions; thus, an aesthetic attitude intends to affirm any work of aesthetic nature (such as a literary book, a painting or a sculpture) as a fact that the creator, that is, the one who writes, paints or sculpts it, will try to justify as long as such creator is a matter of the work produced. Still, the aesthetic attitude is only possible if there is a temporality, and the present will be the fundamental element for such an act to be practiced. Therefore, this article aims to discuss in an introductory way how Beauvoir approached a certain conception of aesthetics based on the authentic movement of man towards freedom. |
