  CARTESIAN, adj.  Relating to Descartes, a famous philosopher, author
  of the celebrated dictum, _Cogito ergo sum_ -- whereby he was pleased
  to suppose he demonstrated the reality of human existence.  The dictum
  might be improved, however, thus:  _Cogito cogito ergo cogito sum_ --
  "I think that I think, therefore I think that I am;" as close an
  approach to certainty as any philosopher has yet made.
