The cogito and the ontological view

שו”תCategory: philosophyThe cogito and the ontological view
asked 6 years ago

Good week,
You did show in your first published book that Anselm’s proof is not ontological and therefore the emptiness of the analytic remains in place. But what about Descartes’ cogito? Apparently it is strictly ontological and the analytic is not so empty. Do you think the cogito really succeeds in bringing about the rationalist miracle in its full power?
