Descartes: Je pense, donc je suis

Zitat

„[E]t remarquant que cette vérité, je pense, donc je suis, était si ferme et si assurée, que toutes les plus extravagantes suppositions des sceptiques n’étaient pas capables de l’ébranler, je jugeai que je pouvais la recevoir sans scrupule, pour le premier principe de la philosophie que je cherchais.“ (p. 52) #Descartes #JePenseDoncJeSuis #PremierPrincipe
