That is not Descartes conclusion or my conclusion.
To Descartes, the person as experienced in a priori thought has a special primacy over all other existing things. While "s" may be doubted due to its a posteriori nature, the self is fundamentally undoubtable in its existence, hence "I think therefore I am".
To Descartes, the existence of a priori thought is the building block of all logic and personhood.
