What does COGITO mean in Scrabble?
noun
formal
The philosophical principle that a person who is thinking must exist, taken from the Latin phrase meaning I think.

He used it as the one certainty left after doubting everything else, and it became the starting point of much modern philosophy. Writers now say the cogito when they mean this argument or the self-awareness it rests on.
