Cogito ergo sum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "Cogito ergo sum" is a translation of Descartes' original French statement: "Je pense, donc je suis", which occurs in his Discourse on Method (1637). The phrase "cogito ergo sum" is not used in Descartes' most important work, the Meditations on First Philosophy, but the term "the cogito" is (often confusingly) used to refer to an argument from it. "Cogito ergo sum" translates as "I think therefore I am" which implies that existence is the effect of the cause of thinking, which is a philosophical fallacy. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Cogito_ergo_sum   (1790 words)

The resulting product—the Cogito Knowledge Center—represents the first commercially significant advance in information management since the advent of relational databases. www.cogitoinc.com /about_cogito.html   (197 words)

Descartes' Epistemology (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) 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. plato.stanford.edu /entries/descartes-epistemology   (17528 words)

SparkNotes: Meditations on First Philosophy: Second Meditation, Part 1: cogito ergo sum and sum res cogitans The cogito argument is so called because of its Latin formulation in the Discourse on Method: "cogito ergo sum" ("I think, therefore I am"). The cogito presents a picture of the world and of knowledge in which the mind is something that can know itself better than it can know anything else. After the cogito, the Meditator advances the claim that he is a thing that thinks, an argument called the sum res cogitans, after its Latin formulation. www.sparknotes.com /philosophy/meditations/section3.rhtml   (1374 words)

Expanding Cogito Ergo Sum With “Cogito Ergo Sum” (I think, therefore I am) Descartes was attempting to tackle the largest philosophical questions of his time. In short, the unconscious thought process is this: I think for myself, that creates my identity; if someone takes my thoughts away from me, they’re causing me to cease to exist therefore I will resist their actions. Or, in honour of Descartes, Cogito Ergo Resisto or “I think, therefore I resist.” I stand my ground, until I have reason to move. www.theatlasphere.com /columns/printer_050610-dejager-cogitoergosum.php   (590 words)

“Russell, Wittgenstein and Cogito ergo sum” That’s a very peculiar sentence", pointing to his own head at the words "cogito" and "sum". Now I have often wondered whether the true meaning of Descartes’ "cogito" was "I am conscious" rather than "I am thinking". Flew says that he wrote his argument in French before he translated it into Latin, or at least that he published in French before he did so in Latin, and I cannot believe that "je pense" could have the meaning "I am conscious". www.wittgenstein.internet-today.co.uk /flew.html   (4108 words)

Renacimiento - Monografias.com Ya en su tiempo Descartes recibió la objeción de que el cogito era la conclusión de un silogismo -a los que precisamente Descartes quiere evitar en su intento de ruptura con la filosofía medieval- cuya premisa mayor (sobreentendida) sería "todo lo que piensa existe", la premisa menor "yo pienso", y la conclusión "yo existo". El mecanismo de demostración de la sustancia pensante lo hemos visto ya con el análisis del cogito. Descartes recurre a Dios como garantía de verdad, puesto que hasta ahora su filosofía se había quedado circunscrita a la idea del cogito, sin posibilidad de avance. www.monografias.com /trabajos5/renaci/renaci2.shtml   (7267 words)

Discourse on the Method of Rightly Conducting the Reason and Seeking for Truth in the Sciences In this I might perhaps appear to you to be very vain if you did not remember that having but one truth to discover in respect to each matter, whoever succeeds in finding it knows in its regard as much as can be known. It is the same as with a child, for instance, who has been instructed in Arithmetic and has made an addition according to the rule prescribed; he may be sure of having found as regards the sum of figures given to him all that the human mind can know. For, in conclusion, the Method which teaches us to follow the true order and enumerate exactly every term in the matter under investigation contains everything which gives certainty to the rules of Arithmetic. www.marxists.org /reference/subject/philosophy/works/fr/descarte.htm   (4564 words)

cogito ergo sum If I were still in that 17-year-old state, what I'm thinking is probably just how to do well in school and get into an ideal college, to meet friends I can get along with, and let others understand me more, let myself less criticized by others, or yelled at.
