Cogito ergo sum

This article is a reflection about our subjective reality and basement for assuming that there is objective reality that exist "externally" relatively to researcher.

Manifest

The only thing that cannot be doubted is the existence of the reality of the researcher himself.

"...cogito ergo sum."

A characteristic of the researcher, his subjective reality, is the presence in his reality of a thinking process that leads to the dynamics of qualia as its result.

It is society, the existence of other people, that is a fact that can be used to support the theory that there is a world external to the researcher - an objective, material one. At a minimum it is useful in supporting that there is a space that we share with other people. This makes us think about the fact that we, as a researcher, exist only as an object in objective reality, even if specific, but still characterized by a certain general sign of existence as “one of” people.
