She, too, was an exponent of Existentialism. Among her numerous works are The Mandarins (1955), a novel; The Second Sex (1949–50), a profound analysis of the status of women; The Coming of Age (1970), a study of society's treatment of the aged; & two collections of memoirs, Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter (1958) & The Prime of Life (1960).
And here is an argument based on Indeterminism, which also seems to rule out the reality of freedom:
1. If determinism is true, we can never do other than we do; so we are not free. 2. If indeterminism is true, then some events (and actions) are random. 3. If some events or actions are random, then we are not their authors; so we are not free. 4. Either determinism or indeterminism is true. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------5. We never act freely.
