Reconstruct (not copy and paste!) Sartre’s argument that existence comes before essence, and then explain how this is related to his thesis that God does not exist and we, human beings, are abandoned. (Since the topics of abandonment and freedom are very big topics in existentialism and in Sartre’s philosophy, in particular, focus on how the first principle of existentialism ties with the non-existence of God and abandonment.)

In the Introduction to The Second Sex, Simone de Beauvoir writes, “She is defined and differentiated with reference to man and not with reference to her; she is the incidental, the inessential as opposed to the essential. He is the Subject, he is the Absolute – she is the Other.” Explain what de Beauvoir means by the statement that woman is the other. (As part of your answer you should explain what he dynamics between the One and the Other is.) Then explain what solution to the woman not being the ‘other’ she proposes.
