11. Knowledge Aims / B. Certain Knowledge / 4. The Cogito

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.
