Ep. 65 - I Think, Therefore Descartes Was Right | A Defense of Descartes's Dictum

In this episode, I share some of my thoughts about Descartes's cogito ergo sum argument. I've heard from just about all sides, that Descartes's dictum is a blatantly fallacious argument and as such, it is a massive failure. But after reading Descartes for myself, I'm not so sure. Now I think the cogito is actually a successful transcendental argument. Check out this episode for my reasons why.  If you like this podcast, then support it on Patreon for $1, $3, or $5 a month.
