well, no. descartes may have been wrong about alot of stuff, but in the context of the proof in the meditations on first philosophy, that thinking precedes the subject that thinks is not one of them.
the "i" is a process, the result of praxis, not its precondition.
the more problematic move is the separation of thinking from embodiment.
this follows more from the axiom that there is this thing called a soul than anything remotely resembling a coherent account of cognition or cognitive processes.
that as an aside.
death is what happens when movement stops.
