- Subjective feelings
- Cooperative living
A1 and 2 are correct
B1 and 3 are correct
C1, 2 and 3 are correct ✓ Correct
D2, 3 and 4 are correct
Correct answer: (C) 1, 2 and 3 are correct — Freedom, responsibility and subjective feelings are all existentialist emphases, so the correct combination is 1, 2 and 3.
Explanation
★Freedom, responsibility and subjective feelings are all existentialist emphases, so the correct combination is 1, 2 and 3.
★Existentialism makes the unique individual its centre, so the first task of education is to understand oneself and develop one's own qualities.
★Freedom is stressed because the learner must be free to choose and shape an authentic self.
★Responsibility follows freedom, since the individual who chooses freely must also own the consequences of that choice.
★Subjective feelings matter because existentialism values the person's inner, felt experience over external, imposed standards.
★Cooperative living is a social aim closer to pragmatism, so item 4 is not an existentialist emphasis and is left out.
