Consciousness: Cogito Ergo Sum 02
Mar 30, 2016
A continuation of the inroads made in the previous page to Descartes' philosophy of consciousness, (and I use 'inroads' in the loosest way possible). Here is a brief overview of the philosophy around Descartes' very famous phrase: 'I think, therefore I am.' Many thinkers, Nietzsche among them, have since undermined this conclusion, but at least for now our transcendental friend's existential concerns have been eased.
In other news, meet Z. He is a bear with a magic carpet, and is an excellent partner in dialogue.
I would furthermore like to add that the use of tortoises as metaphors for sorrows is not in any way related to the philosophical oeuvre of Descartes.
