3. This immediately explains the curious temporality of Descartes’s insight. “... I had only to cease to think for an instant of time, and I should then (even although all the other things I had imagined still remained true) have no ground for believing that I can have existed in that instant. (Discours, Part IV).
4. For instance, the well-known criticism by Fred Feldman: 1973 (see his paper ‘On the Performatory Interpretation of the cogito’, Philosophical Review 83, 345–363) is predicated on the mistaken idea that I am trying to explain the nature of Descartes’s thesis simply by acknowledging its character as an existentially self-verifying sentence, almost as if I were trying to present a syllogism with existentially self-verifying as a middle term. This is a radical distortion of what I did in the original paper. A great deal of further argument is needed to show why and when an existentially inconsistent sentence is absurd to utter.
