Topic: Cogito


  
  Cogito ergo sum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Latin phrase "cogito, ergo sum" (traditionally translated as "I think, therefore I am," but more accurately "I am thinking, therefore I exist") is possibly the single best-known philosophical statement, and is attributed to René Descartes.
Although the idea expressed by "cogito ergo sum" is most commonly associated with Descartes, it was present in many of his antecedents, especially Augustine of Hippo in De Civitate Dei (books XI, 26), who offers this argument, and anticipates modern refutations of it.
Three arguments will be presented against the cogito, all of which will be rejected, before an examination of Bernard Williams' rejection of the cogito on the grounds of its third-person comprehensibility.

 20th WCP: Heidegger's Reading of Descartes' Dualism: The Relation of Subject and Object
The subject of cogito is beyond doubt if one asks what this subject is. Descartes cannot answer, because, if the subject is embodied in the world, the subject becomes a worldly thing in which man's doubts begin.
Ricoeur concludes his critique of Heidegger's destruction of Descartes' understanding of "cogito sum" that the destruction of the 'cogito' as an absolute subject is the reversal of an hermeneutics of the "I am" as constituted by its relation to Being.
Therefore, "I am-in-the-world" precedes the "cogito sum." The truth of cogito is replaced in the disclosedness of Being which is basically primordial truth.

Il cogito ergo sum è il fondamento della certezza,dell'immediata consapevolezza del nostro essere spirituale: per il fatto che io penso affermo che io esisto,concepisco la realtà dell'anima come sostanza pensante,permanente, mentre i suoi contenuti sono variabili,transitori,il che non deve però considerarsi come la conclusione d'un ragionamento,ma una certezza immediata e intuitiva.
Il cogito husserliano non è però l'attributo di una sostanza, ma la concreta corrente di cogitationes che ogni soggetto esperisce in sé e cioè il vissuto degli atti intenzionali entro i quali si viene costituendo ciò che la coscienza comune chiama mondo o natura.
Il cogito ergo sum di Cartesio sottintende una consequenzialità derivante dalla entificazione dell'idea di essere.

 cogito no longer conflicts with git or cgvg   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Cogito is logically a separate package, it's a high-level UI on top of git's low-level tools.
Sometimes, development of cogito exposes bugs or shortcomings in git, and the cogito people patch cogito's git, and the patches later make it in to Linus' git (or they dont).
This was an especially convenient setup when both git and cogito were evolving very rapidly, in April and May. Things are starting to stabilize now (they're talking about git 1.0), so version skew is becoming less of an issue.

 SCM Marchant Cogito 240SR Calculator   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
While the Cogito 240SR is most certainly not the most capable, fast, elegant, or easy-to-use calculator of its time, the story behind its development and, most specifically, the man behind its design, is one of the most fascinating stories in the history of desktop electronic calculating machines.
SCM had already introduced the Cogito 240SR, and felt that their machine was all they needed to make their stand in the electronic calculator marketplace.
While the Cogito 240SR was not particularly stunning in terms of its capabilities and performance, it's legacy as the brainchild of Stanley Frankel still lives on to this day.

The SCM (Smith Corona Marchant) Cogito 414 is virtually identical to the Cogito 412 with the sole difference being in the number of digits of capacity -- 14 on the 414, and, 12 on the 412.
This particular Cogito 414 I'm guessing was built in the mid-to-late 1972 timeframe, with date codes on IC's ranging from late-1969 through mid-1972.
The IC with the '72 date code may be a replacement, in which case, the machine may have been built in mid to late-1970.

 The Philosophy of René Descartes - Page 1
Descartes, as a result of the principles already established in his method, had first of all to seek out a solid starting point (a clear and distinct concrete idea), and from this opens his deductive process.
It is to be observed that for Descartes the validity of "Cogito ergo sum" rests in this, that the doubt presents intuitively to the mind the subject who doubts, that is, the
The "cogito" reveals the existence of the subject, limited and imperfect because liable to doubt.

 Descartes' Epistemology
The privileged certainty of the cogito is grounded in the “manifest contradiction” (cf.
There is no inconsistency in the view that the meditator comes to appreciate the persuasive force of the cogito by means of inferential reflection, while also holding that his eventual conviction is not grounded in inference.
Worthy of attention is that Descartes characterizes the cogito using the same cognitive language that he uses to characterize the atheist's defeasible cognition.

 Philosophy Essays - Descartes - "Cogito, ergo sum"
He believes that the reason Descartes defined thought in such broad terms was that each of the activities he mentioned could satisfy the premises of the Cogito because within each of the types of action mentioned was contained an intellectual reflective action of the kind required to satisfy the Cogito.
It is also a reflection on the nature of the project he had undertaken; he was not trying to prove reason or build a system of cognition, but rather to construct the foundations for a new scientific system.
Because of the fact that any attempts to formalise the Cogito have proved to be inconsistent with Descartes' expressed belief in the self-evidence of the argument, it still remains unclear as to exactly how Descartes himself understood it to be so certain and self-evident.

But there is one thing that cannot be doubted: doubt itself.
This is the kernel expressed in his famous phrase, Cogito, ergo sum [I think, therefore I am].
From the certainty of the existence of a thinking being, Descartes passed to the existence of God, for which he offered one proof based on St. Anselm’s ontological proof and another based on the first cause that must have produced the idea of God in the thinker.

[T]here is a tripartite division in the Cogito: (i) consciousness of myself: I am in touch with myself obscurely; (ii) knowledge of ideas considered by me; (iii) knowledge of God, without ideas.
The very fact that Descartes's Cogito was discovered on a certain date, that it was late in coming, that it needs to be taught, proves that the reflecting self cannot be considered as myself.
Moreover, I consider my body as a part of myself: if I had an idea of the soul, this would not be so, and I would not have to offer this body as a victim to God.

In the familiar formula cogito ergo sum (“I think; therefore, I am”) proffered by the first notable modern philosopher, René Descartes, methodical thinking was rooted in thought itself, thus raising the problem of how any material world outside of thought could be reached philosophically.
