    Roxelle discusses how studying different philosophers helped her understand herself better. She discusses perspectives from Socrates and Plato about the soul being permanent while the body is not. Saint Augustine's view of devoting oneself to God to live better resonated with her as a religious person. She also connected with Rene Descartes' view of the mind and body, John Locke's blank slate theory, David Hume's view of the self as impressions, and Merleau-Ponty's view of the body and mind being intertwined. In conclusion, studying various philosophers provided insights that increased her self-understanding.

    SUBJECT: GE 1: UNDERSTANDING THE SELF

    ACTIVITY 1

    Understanding ourselves is a must. If we want to know more about ourselves, we need to study
    it. We need to understand the different perspective or philosophy of different philosopher. For
    us to have an better idea and knowledge about us more.

    I understand myself more thanks to the different philosophy or perspective of the different
    philosopher that we discuss. Thanks to Socrates and Plato because i came to know that every
    man just like myself is compose of body and soul that the soul is permanent and the body is not.
    Next one is the philosophy of Saint Augustine about devoting ourselves to God to live better.
    Knowing this is very important to me because i'am a religious person and i came to a realisation
    that when i finish my journey on this lifetime, i need to prepare myself to more promising life
    ahead of me, which the eternal life that we can get if we devote ourselves to God on this lifetime.
    Third one is Rene Descartes about his philosophy that the mind is the thinker or "extenza" and
    the body is the extension mind, which i think because as i grow old now, that's what i came to
    know about myself. Fourth is John Locke that all humans have a blank state upon coming to
    this world. I understand more that when we are young, we don't know anything and we just learn
    form our environment and to the teachings of the people that sorround us. Fifth is the
    philosophy of David Hume that the self is just a bundle of impression and impression is the one
    that we experience upon growing up. Also there is the philosophy of Immanuel Kant about the
    two kind of conciousness, the empirical and Transcendal apperception. The seventh one is the
    philosophy of Paul Churchland that the self is defined by the movement of mind. Lastly is the
    philosophy of Merleau-Ponty. He said that the body and mind is intertwined that it cannot be
    separated. I understand thatthe bldy and mind of a person is working together.

    In conclusion, every philosopher has a philosophy that can help us to understand ourselves
    more. Thanks to them we can study and learn about ourselves.
