Rene Descartes
- A straight up Rationalist and the big daddy of all the skeptics. Famous for
doubting everything, no shit. EVERYTHING
- Descartes was in despair for he doubted everything, even the empirical
sense. Eyes swirl the room when we’re drunk, food tastes different when we
are sick, and noises differ in some circumstances. Descartes even started to
doubt his own body. That is when BOOM, it hit him. He was doubting, he
knew he was doubting, and to doubt is to think. Descartes new that he was a
thinking think, capable to doubt. That is why in his book Meditations on the
First Philosophy he wrote the famous line “I think, therefore I am” or
“Cogito, Ergo Sum” but it was originally in French “Je Pense, Donc Je
Suis”.
- So having said this, our mustachio French Christian boy Rene Descartes
believed in the existence of the mind. It was the only thing that could not be
doubted. Therefore, the “I” symbolizes one’s existence.
Explanation ni Ivan: Sa sobraan ka skeptic ni angkol Rene nato, gi dudahan
niya tanan. Bago ra guro siyag bulag sa iyang uyab guro or unsa ba mao tong
bitter. Basta amo na na. Gaproblema siya kay naabot sa point gidudahan niya
iyang sarili if tinuod ba siya. Didto niya na na discover all this time, gaisip siya.
Siyang ang nay kakayahan mag duda, mag isip. Mao tong “I think, therefore I
am” Kay tungod thinking thing siya, he exists. Or atleast iyang mind ga exist.
Kamo na bahala ah. Basta ang “I” ingon ni Sir Erwin existence daw nato na
ingon ni angkol Rene.

Judith Pamela Butler

- Born February 24 1956, father was dentist, mother was in the housing
business.
- Wrote the books Subject of Desire and Gender Trouble (Published 1990).
 Gender – Social Construct, Self-Identity, is an objective natural thing, must
be performed, is not stable, fictional and can be changed, is an outward
action, your performance, what you are able to act, sustainable through
repetition/habit, there is no gender if there is no act.

Sex – Biological, Genital, Corporeal facts of existence, is a social construct

that becomes material through time, viewed by the traditional feminist
perspective as biological.

Explanation ni Ivan: Walay explanation, sabta ra ninyo uy. Boang man

diay ko.

Simone Lucie Ernestine Marie Bertrand de Beauvoir (Simone de

Beauvoir)

- January 9, 1908 – April 14, 1986, worked with Maurice Merleau-Ponty and
beshiecakes with Jean-Paul Sartre (Katong libat gud ug mata). Simone de
Beauvoir was famous for the book “The Second Sex”.

- “One is not born a woman, but rather becomes, a woman” saying that
women or being a woman is not a natural fact. Simone states that it is a
historical thing. Where in women as little girls are programmed to be of
femininity. It’s the result of history. Its history that constructed women,
history of a civilization that has led to her current status. For each individual
woman, its history of her life, particularly her childhood.

Explanation ni Ivan: Women are not natural, they are molded. From little
girls they are molded into a woman. Kung baga gi program sila ba to act
and be a certain way. From childhood or civilization. Murag doll gud or
manika na gabuot ang gadula unsay suoton, asa ibilin, unsa isturya
sturya kuno. Basta baliktad kay Butler ang kay Simone. Kay ante Simone
dili natural ang becoming of women, they are molded, a state of becoming.
Kamo nay sabot bi, gikapoy nako. Bago rako nahuman himog portfolio
wa pakuy kaon.
