Additional quotes by Étienne Gilson

With Descartes the Cogito ergo sum [I think, therefore I am] turns into Cogito ergo res sunt [I think, therefore things are].

If there is something more in a living being than a pure mechanism, Descartes is bound in advance to miss it.

Every given reality implies the thought which apprehends it. Therefore being is the condition of knowing; knowing is not the condition of being.
