'I think therefore I am' vs 'I am thinking therefore I exist'
This chapter debates the merits of the famous philosophical phrase 'I think therefore I am' and its alternative version 'I am thinking therefore I exist'. The speakers discuss how apprehendable these versions are and delve into the historical context of René Descartes, the philosopher who coined the phrase, and how he was received by his contemporaries. They also explore the concepts of phenomenology, non-egalitarianism, radical doubt, and the importance of clarity in communication.
