What the Cogito is in Descartes and how it works.

      Explain what the Cogito is in Descartes and how it works. Is it really an argument or is it more like an intuition? How is it linked to the fact that Descartes is ‘meditating’ rather than ‘dialoging’ in this philosophical work (unlike Socrates, for example). If you yourself ‘perform’ the Cogito do you find that it works for you? Why or why not?
