Not De Beauvoir

"Not De Beauvoir"




The Second Sex Cuts the Floor
I’m not De Beauvoir
And you’re no Satre

Try again tomorrow
Wordplay 

The Second Sex Cuts the Floor
It’s a dog-eat-dog-turn-left-kind-of-day
Try again tomorrow, the Satre

Soul Sisters love
Wordplay

The World’s a Ghetto
The Second Sex Cuts the Floor

It’s a dog-eat-dog-turn-left-kind-of-day
Soul Sisters love
Wordplay

Kai Michael Neumann April 24, 2020 at 6:51 AM Existence before essence ... Lady Labyrinth April 24, 2020 at 9:19 PM "My life, as I saw it, was to be a transcendence, a progress from step to step, a series of realms to be traversed and left behind one after another, just as a piece of music perfects, completes and leaves behind theme after theme, tempo after tempo, never tired, never sleeping, always aware and always perfect in the present. I had noticed that, coincidental with the experience of awakening, there actually were such steps and realms, and that each time a life stage was coming to an end it was fraught with decay and desire for death." Hesse Lady Labyrinth April 24, 2020 at 9:17 PM Immanence and Transcendence... Lady Labyrinth April 24, 2020 at 9:17 PM "De Beauvoir uses the concepts of ‘immanence’ and ‘transcendence’ to further explain women’s situation. Immanence is stagnation within a situation, while transcendence is reaching out into the future, through projects that open up freedom. At times these two concepts have been understood as ‘body’ and ‘consciousness’ respectively, but that misconstrues de Beauvoir’s philosophy. We are all embodied consciousnesses: this is the condition for the possibility of our freedom."

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart April 20, 2020 at 9:00 AM I like this a lot. Lady Labyrinth April 20, 2020 at 4:27 PM I suspected you would. hmmm may as well educate during Cabin Fever times, but I know you are up to speed and more than likely on the side of de Beauvoir.
