18703 | Davidson's Cogito: 'I think, therefore I am generally right' [Davidson, by Button] |
Full Idea: Davidson's Cogito has the form 'I think, therefore I am generally right'. | |
From: report of Donald Davidson (Coherence Theory of Truth and Knowledge [1983], 16.6) by Tim Button - The Limits of Reason | |
A reaction: On the whole I would subscribe to this Cogito (as Button calls it), from an evolutionary perspective. There would just be no point in thought if it wasn't generally right in everyday activity. |
