Sartreâs Existentialism Is a Humanism and Freud, âThe Structure of the Unconsciousâ
Sartreâs Existentialism Is a Humanism 1) What common ideas about existentialism is Sartre defending against? (p. 1) 2) What does Sartre mean in claiming that âexistence precedes essenceâ? (p. 3) 3) For what reason does Sartre deny the existence of human nature? (p. 4) 4) Why does Sartre discuss the Biblical story of Abraham? (p. 6) 5) What does Sartre mean in saying that humans are âcondemned to be freeâ? (p. 8) Study questions on Freud, âThe Structure of the Unconsciousâ 1) In Freudâs view, what are the âthree qualities of mental processes,â how are they different, and what common root underlies all of them? (See pages 1-2) 2) Explain how the ego mediates between the id and the super-ego. Be sure to give definitions of each. Then, distinguish the sense in which Freud uses ego from the ordinary, everyday sense of the word, as in âHe/she has a huge ego.â
