Bu makale, yaygın olarak “Kadın, Yaşam, Özgürlük” (Zan, Zendegi, Azadî) hareketi olarak bilinen 2022-2026 İranlı kadınların devrimci isyanını, başta Belirsizlik Etiği (1947) ve İkinci Cinsiyet (1949) olmak üzere Simone de Beauvoir’ın varoluşçu etiği üzerinden incelemektedir. İranlı kadınların ayaklanması, belirsizliğin temel insani koşul olduğunu, özgürlüğün özneler-arası boyutunu ve kolektif kurtuluşun ahlaki zorunluluğu yönündeki Beauvoircı temel etik iddiaları yalnız üstlenmekle kalmayıp somutlaştırıyor. İranlı kadınların direnişinin ontolojik özgürlük ile pratik özgürlük arasındaki hayati ayrımı nasıl ortaya koyduğunu araştırarak, Beauvoir’ın durumsallığa ilişkin fenomenolojik kavrayışının ve bunun özgürlükle olan yakın ilişkisinin, bu devrimci feminist hareketin felsefi önemini anlamak için temel bir çerçeve sunduğunu ileri sürüyor. Makale, İran İslam Cumhuriyeti’nin Beauvoir’ın “mistifiye edilmiş” baskı olarak adlandırdığı durumu nasıl örneklediğini açığa çıkararak, İranlı kadınlar ile erkeklerin kolektif ayaklanmasının felsefi boyutlarını, Beauvoircı etiğin somut bir icrası olarak analiz ediyor. Bu analiz aracılığıyla, hareketin Beauvoir’ın kurucu tezini doğruladığını gösteriyor: kendini özgür kılmayı istemek, herkesin özgür olmasını istemektir.
