Description

Explore a provocative new interpretation of the most famous proposition in philosophy. In Descartes' Cogito: Saved from the Great Shipwreck, Husain Sarkar challenges the long-standing tradition of reading the cogito as an argument. Instead, this work presents the idea that it should be understood as an intuition. This scholarly text provides a fresh lens through which to view foundational Cartesian topics. By shifting the perspective from argument to intuition, the author reconsiders how we understand the ideal inquirer and the role of clear and distinct ideas. The book also examines the connection between these ideas and the will, as well as the functions of memory. Readers will find deep analysis regarding the nature of intuition and deduction, alongside an investigation into the nature, content, and elusiveness of the 'I'. Published by Cambridge University Press, this book offers a rigorous look at the tenability of Cartesian doctrine for students and scholars of history and philosophy.
