[MD] Where does DQ end and SQ begin and SQ end and DQ begin? It's all bananas isn't it?

[Ant McWatt]

Well, Descartes didn't have Northrop at hand to sharpen up his thinking.  If he did, old Rene might have corrected what he said (about what can be considered certain ontologically) and said instead: "Something thinks therefore something is"!

The "I" and "we" are all concepts by postulation (and, therefore, strictly speaking, not ontologically certain).

Best wishes,

Ant

J-A,

It seems to me it represents a naive realism in the psychological sense, even to many among us who need certainty and think they own truth. I do not relate it to Descartes. But if you do, well, then you do.
