Philosophical Reflection and We

As has been previously discussed, if Descartes were more rigorous, the Meditations would begin with him not--sitting in a chair gazing at a fire, but--at a desk writing, from which he might have arrived at the realization that "I am writing" is certain whenever it appears.  From there, he might have concluded that since he intends this act to be shared with others, in a common language, it is also certain that 'We exist'.  Such Reflection could provide the ground of a refutation to any scriptural, i. e. written dogma, i. e. that asserts the existence of a disembodied individual 'soul', for example.  Furthermore, it could serve as a reminder that the Socratic tradition begins as an act of civil disobedience, and continues as a body of literature.  In other words, any denial of a systematic relation between Philosophical Reflection and We, not merely has the preponderance of evidence against it, but, as an expressed assertion, is self-defeating.
