Cogito, Ergo Philosophus: I Think, Therefore I Philosophize

There is a link between human thinking and human survival. As a way to explain that correlation as persuasively as possible, I proclaim Cogito, Ergo Philosophus, which means, I think, therefore I philosophize.

As a living being, I am always in charge of my Beingness; at least I think I am. But I could not make the irreconcilable argument that I am free to be however I want to be. I could not be whenever or wherever I would like to be. I must recognize the limits of my Beingness. This is the only way I could survive beyond serendipity.

The Cogito is what allows me to perceive the world for what it is and not how it is projected to me. The Cogito is the essence of my Beingness in my world. This book is based on a series of essays about human existence. It provides valuable insights about some of the most salient questions, which are often echoed in the literature. But the primary focus is on a person’s ability to think and that individual’s capacity to find the means to survive.
