对“Ego cogito,ergo sum”的两点看法

Two Points of View of "Ego cogito,ergo sum"

“Ego cogito，ergo sum”首次以“哲学的第一原理”的名义出现，是在1637年的《方法谈》中。在对一系列事物进行怀疑之后，笛卡尔写道：“我曾想要认为一切都是假的，在这个过程中，那个曾在想的我，必然应当是某个东西”（Descartes，1996，VI，P．32），由此，他认为找到了一条不可怀疑的真理——“我思，我是”。然而，

This paper presents an attempt to show that according to Descartes'viewpoint in his maturity,'ego cogito,ergo sum' is illustrated by means of treating the universal doubt as a linguistic structure with two different layers.Such a double-layer structure is capable of incorporating ego into the examination of doubt process;and in this way internal structure and the diachronic nature of introspection can be unveiled.Moreover,this structure not only enables the discovery of the absolute truth of 'I' being existing,but also an inference that such a truth is indemonstrable.This two,following a research of Qian Jie,form the very reason that 'ego cogito,ergo sum' is a kind of intuition a priori.It also points out that the equivalence of 'sum' and 'existo' is not realized via an epistemological approach,but rather via God as a dynamical cause.Therefore,given this 'first principle' that only derived from an epistemological process,a more proper translation of 'ego cogito,ergo sum' is suggested to be 'I think,I am'.
