The early Greeks
wrote
gnothi
seauton
(γνῶθι
σεαυτόν),
“Know Thyself” on the walls of
the Temple
of Delphi, thousands of years ago. Cogito
ergo sum. I think therefore I am. A
thought by René Descartes as he wrote in his Principia
Philosophiae (1644). In short it captures the concept that
the only thing I really know, the only thing I can be sure of is me,
myself and I. Not in a physical sense, not as body, but I do have
thoughts and that at least is Me.
