| Abstract
|
:
|
Decartes' maxim 'Cogito, ergo sum' is perhaps the most famous philosophical expression ever coined. This volume looks at the first half of the proposition - cogito. Almog calls this the 'thinking man's paradox' - that there can be, in the natural world and as part and parcel of it, a creature that thinks.
