In this video, we explore the famous philosophical statement by René Descartes, "I think, therefore I am," also known as cogito ergo sum. Descartes was searching for a foundation for knowledge that was more reliable than sensory experience, and he realized that the act of thinking was the one thing he could be certain of. This statement became the starting point for his philosophy and a way to establish the existence of the self.

In this lesson, we discuss the significance of "I think, therefore I am" in Descartes' philosophy and beyond, exploring how this statement provides a foundation for knowledge that is not based on sensory experience. We also dive into the implications of this idea and how it relates to modern philosophy. Whether you're a philosophy student or simply interested in exploring the nature of existence, this lesson is sure to be thought-provoking and insightful.
