Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -For Sartre, nothingness is the defining characteristic of the for-itself. A tree is a tree and lacks the ability to change or create its being. Man, on the other hand, makes himself by acting in the world. Instead of simply being, as the object-in-itself does, man, as an object-for-itself, must actuate his own being.

Detailed explanation-2: -ABSTRACT Sartre’s claim in Being and Nothingness that consciousness is nothingness is typically understood as meaning either that consciousness is not itself, that it is not its objects, that it is not its past, or that it is some sort of state of affairs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sartre believe that human existence is the result of chance or accident. There is no meaning or purpose of his life other than what his freedom creates, therefore, he must rely on his own resources. In the Philosophy of Sartre, there is an accord between the feeling of anxiety and freedom.

Detailed explanation-4: -For the early Sartre, there is no human nature – because there is no God; human-ness is not fixed, and we become what we make of ourselves. Transhumanism shares with Sartrean existentialism the view that human nature is not fixed, the view that there is no God, and that we must act to make our lives better.
