Overview
Descartes's cogito ergo sum is at once one of the simplest and most puzzling of philosophical arguments. Although most philosophers agree that the argument is valid, they do not agree about why it is valid. And the most generally accepted account, on which the inference becomes a standard logical argument once a missing premise is supplied, contradicts Descartes's own statements about the cogito."Offers a refreshing new line of approach from the pont of view of a distinguished philosopher of language..."--Journal of Philosophy.
