Science and Subjectivity: From Cogito to Geist

The scientist who supposes science a discourse of objectivity fails to recognize the true object of the study: the human being who is a scientist. As any other human being the scientist asks eternal questions. All fundamental questions are those of human being itself. In an outlook inwards to cogito or out there towards the universe the scientist finds some relief away from the self that insists on asking. To forget the questions without answer as those are the questions being asked unlike questions given the answer already in the question. Any question is ultimately the question of the self. This means that cogito do not recognize who thinks while occupied by thinking. What else? But Descartes is aware of this. He is a thing that thinks. Res cogitans. He knows that. As Descartes’ fundamental claim is cogito ergo sum – as cogito should be the subject of science – the science nevertheless determines existence from what it cogitates. However, understanding is an operation to be undertaken by the subject who thinks. Le sujet supposé savoir of Lacan? 

Placing ego in relation to what is subjected to the question of the sum. 
Existence is a thing I think. 
Ego sum. 
And now from cogito to Geist!
