Active transcendence
In de Beauvoir's existentialism, active transcendence is the purposeful engagement with the world through which human beings create meaning, pursue projects, and assert their freedom against the forces of immanence and oppression.
Authentic freedom
In de Beauvoir's existentialism, authentic freedom is the condition achieved when an individual recognises the full reality of her situation, including the structures of oppression that constrain her, and actively works to transcend those constraints through purposeful projects and solidarity with others.
