As part of the Agnes Etherington Art Centre's spring programming surrounding the Singular Figures exhibition, Carlos Prado, Professor Emeritus (Philosophy), gave a talk on āDescartesā Divisive Legacy.ā In his talk, Dr. Prado explained that the oft-quoted phrase, āCogito, ergo sumā (I think, therefore I am) was abandoned by Descartes for requiring a suppressed premise. Descartes revised the āCogitoā statement to the āEgo sum, ego existoā statement.
