15636 | The Cogito is at the very centre of the entire concern of modern philosophy [Hegel] |
Full Idea: The proposition 'Cogito Ergo Sum' stands at the very centre, so to speak, of the entire concern of modern philosophy. | |
From: Georg W.F.Hegel (Logic (Encyclopedia I) [1817], §64 Rem) | |
A reaction: I distinguish two approaches to philosophy: the Parmenidean (which starts from the nature of being), and the Cartesian (which starts from the fact of consciousness). This remark confirms that Hegel is firmly in the latter school. |
