Cogito ergo sum

[JadeB304]

"I think, therefore, I exist" - a philosophical concept of the rationalist Rene Descartes and a good support for doubters in everything. This formula arose when trying to find the primary, indisputable and absolute truth, on the basis of which you can build a philosophical concept of absolute knowledge. Descartes questioned everything: the outside world, his feelings, God, and public opinion. The only thing that could not be called into question was one's own existence, since the very process of doubting one's own existence was a proof of that existence. From this came the formula: "I doubt, therefore I think; I think, therefore I exist", transformed into "I think, therefore I exist" - this phrase became the metaphysical basis of modern philosophy. It proclaimed the dominant position of the Subject, around which it became possible to build reliable knowledge.
