Cogito Ergo SumA freshman walks into his Philosophy professor's office after the first class on "Being and Existence". The student is visibly upset and in a shaky voice says: "I had never thought about the nature of existence. I do not know for a fact that I exist, do I? I mean, how do we know for sure? I've got to know, can you tell me for sure that I exist?"The professor tells the student to go home, read the textbook, think things over, and come back the next day if it isn't clearer then. The next morning the student, looking tired and disheveled, is waiting for the professor at his office door. Upon his arrival, the professor says, "Are you all right?" The student, following the professor into the office, says, "I stayed up all night. I read the textbook, I thought it over a million times, and I JUST DON'T KNOW IF I EXIST! YOU'VE GOT TO TELL ME! DO I EXIST OR NOT??" The professor smiles at the student and calmly replies, "Who wants to know?"
