Quote by Rene Descartes

I think; therefore I am.

I think; therefore I am.

Summary

This quote, coined by philosopher RenÃ© Descartes, asserts that the very act of thinking confirms one's existence. Descartes argued that doubt was a powerful force that could be used to question all beliefs and knowledge. However, he found that he could not doubt his own existence. In essence, this quote reflects Descartes' conclusion that the capacity to think signifies the existence of a thinking being, thus affirming one's own existence. It highlights the inseparable relationship between consciousness and existence.

There are people in the public sector with a range of experiences that have no equivalent in business, but are essential to governing, like keeping a kid in school or helping someone get and hold a job. The value of those skills can't easily be measured against a bottom line.

Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small

Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home - so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual person; the neighborhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm, or office where he works. Such are the places where every man, woman, and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world.

The era of the political was one of anomie: crisis, violence, madness and revolution. The era of the trans-political is that of anomaly: an aberration of no consequence, contemporaneous with the event of no consequence.
