Ego sum, ego existo: Descartes' divisive legacy
As part of the Agnes Etherington Art Centre's spring programming surrounding the Singular Figures exhibition, Carlos Prado, Professor Emeritus (Philosophy), gave a talk on “Descartes’ Divisive Legacy.� In his talk, Dr. Prado explained that the oft-quoted phrase, “Cogito, ergo sum� (I think, therefore I am) was abandoned by Descartes for requiring a suppressed premise. Descartes revised the “Cogito� statement to the “Ego sum, ego existo� statement.
