-When De Beauvoir asks if there “really are any women” she means what?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sartre's statement "existence precedes essence" means that individuals do not have a predetermined essence or nature. Rather, they exist first and then create their own essence through their choices and actions. This idea is the existentialist credo for both Christian and atheist existentialist because it asserts the importance of freedom of choice and responsibility for one's own actions. However, atheistic existentialism is "more coherent" because it does not rely on the idea of a god or higher power to give meaning to existence, which can be seen as contradictory to the idea of individual freedom and responsibility.

Answer: None of the above
 These questions do not relate to Sartre's statement "existence precedes essence" and are unrelated to the topic of existentialism.
