About this book

Ego Sum proposes a provocative and unprecedented reading of Descartes. By paying attention to mode of presentation of Descartes’s philosophy, Nancy challenges our common understanding of the Cogito and shows how Descartes’s ego is not the self-certain, self-transparent Subject of metaphysics but a mouth that opens to utter: ego sum.

Ego Sum is the most risky, and therefore most philosophically interesting, book concerning Descartes in the last forty years. Like Descartes’s own philosophy, it remains contemporary.
