My friend and current boss, Al Shalloway, has been talking with be about cogito ergo sum for a little while, now.
While I think the ergo sum part is the critical insight - the recognition that your knowledge is limited to your own existence - he's been debating the cogito part.
The assertion I think he's making is that you don't think. I don't know if I agree but I definitely have become convinced that you don't know you think.
You do, however, know that you experience. At least, I know that I do. Moreover, I don't know anything else.
So I wonder if the sentio ergo sum is a more appropriate declaration. It still contains the essential assertion underpinning all reason: that we basically don't know anything. It's actually a stronger statement of that fact.
