The process of attaining one’s existence as per existentialism is

  • A.Essence, struggle, pain and pleasure, lonliness
  • B.Lonliness, pain and pleasure, struggle, essence
  • C.Lonliness, struggle, pain and pleasure, essence
  • D.Essence, pain and pleasure, struggle, lonliness

Answer: C

The key gives the order loneliness, struggle, pain and pleasure, essence. In existentialism a person begins in the loneliness of free choice and responsibility, passes through struggle and the experience of pain and pleasure, and in this way arrives at an essence, that is, becomes what he chooses to be. The idea is summed up in the phrase that existence comes before essence: the essence is made by the person's own life.

The options that begin with essence reverse this order by treating the essence as given first, which existentialists reject, and the second option places pain and pleasure before struggle.
