In her book, Butler discusses the concept of the subject of an authority, trying to explain how that subject submits, accepts, and sometimes gets involved in submitting to an authority that loses its identity. How does Butler explain the subjection of the self to authority? What is the psychological form exercised by power over the self? And what makes extra-self power a psychological form that constitut...

Analyzing man into his basic elements: what is immortal and what dies? “To be mortal is the most basic human experience, and yet man has never been able to accept it, grasp it, and behave accordingly. Man doesn't know how to be mortal.

His philosophy is based on a " cogito " that he reached after a systematic process of doubt.  Descartes asserts that systematic doubt has properties, which are: It is a voluntary doubt: meaning that a person is the one who imposes it on himself by his own will. It is temporary doubt: that is, it is not permanent or continuous doubt. As for the cogito, which Descartes reached, it is represented in the sentence “I think, therefore I am”; In the sense that a person can doubt the existence of everything, but he cannot doubt that there is a self that thinks and doubts.
