Summary "Cognito, Ergo Sum" by John Foster West is a science fiction narrative written in the early 1950s. This thought-provoking story explores themes of existence, consciousness, and the nature of reality through the journey of a rational entity named Marl, who grapples with the concepts of identity, loneliness, and the search for connection in an abyss of nothingness. The book delves into philosophical inquiries about the spirit and flesh, aiming to understand the relationship between thought and existence. In the story, Marl awakens in a void, embracing the realization of his own existence through the famous philosophical assertion "I think, therefore I am." As Marl explores the meaning of his being, he experiences profound loneliness and the desire for companionship, leading him to discover another entity, named Pat. Despite their differences, their connection alleviates their existential fears and introduces emotions like love and contentment. The narrative takes a turn as they encounter a barrier in space that disconnects them from their physical forms, causing Marl to confront the essence of existence without Pat. Ultimately, the tale intertwines the emotional and rational aspects of identity, posing questions about connection and the depth of consciousness. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
