W poszukiwaniu ostatecznej pewności – kartezjańskie cogito i ebnerowskie słowo

Journal Title: Kwartalnik Pedagogiczny - Year 2015, Vol 60, Issue 2

Abstract

The original experience, traditionally regarded as the beginning of philosophy, is analysed here in terms of certainty, based on the two thinkers from different eras: René Descartes and Ferdinand Ebner. Descartes, as we know, sees absolute certainty in the experience of cogito, while Ebner sees it in the current experience of speech, especially in the expression “I am”, taken in the personal actuality of it being spoken. However, it seems that the experience of Descartes is also based on the specific current experience of speech, interpreted, however, as a thought, and the actually experienced “I”is transformed to ego, to a “thinking substance”. The purpose of this discussion is to show that cogito is to be regarded as secondary relative to the “word in its actuality”. The consequence of this fact is the need for a new, “not Cartesian” rationality that could be called dialogical.<br/><br/>
