AnswerClick to flip back
A
All of the above
💡 Explanation:
In existentialism, nothingness is often seen as the starting point for human existence. It is the recognition that we are all born into a world that is meaningless and purposeless, and that we are ultimately alone and isolated. This can lead to feelings of anxiety, despair, and nausea, but it can also be a source of liberation and creativity.
