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.
