Today's Main Accomplishment ...
Read the abbreviated version of my paper "Descartes and Methodological Doubt: Was the Cogito Necessary" at the 2005 Meeting of the South Carolina Society for Philosophy at Furman University (1:30 p.m. this afternoon).
Observations:
I'll need to take more seriously the role of the cogito in Descartes's overall project. I'll need to say more about how we move from the pure form of the principles of identity and noncontradiction to content (using self-referential relations and the action principle as the bridge?).
Another observation: there is no good way to get across Greenville to Furman University from home base here.
