Is the Cogito argument valid?
Descartes’s “cogito” can be false, because there are conceivable and logically possible situations where there exists thought and no Self.
Is Cogito ergo sum correct?
Fumitaka Suzuki writes “Taking consideration of Cartesian theory of continuous creation, which theory was developed especially in the Meditations and in the Principles, we would assure that ‘I am thinking, therefore I am/exist’ is the most appropriate English translation of ‘ego cogito, ergo sum’.”
What is wrong with the Cogito argument?
The problem of the solipsistic argument of the cogito is that nothing more exists outside the self’s being a thinking thing. It only proves the existence of oneself insofar as the thinking I is concerned, and does not prove the idea and the existence of other things other than the self.
