Upon Hobbes reading of Descartes proposition “I am thing that thinks‚ that is a mind‚ soul‚ understanding or reason (Ibid‚ 2000); he draws a conundrum with the latter part of Descartes proposition namely ‘that is a mind‚ soul‚ understanding or reason’ (Ibid‚ 2000); conceiving it to be erroneous; for it ostensibly reads ‘I am thinking‚ therefore I am a thought’. This is condemned by Hobbes as a spurious argument for it does not seem logical to say a thinking thing equates its faculty of thinking.
