Sartre

 

One can ask why the I has to appear in the cogito

 since the cogito, if used rightly, is the awareness of pure consciousness, not directed at any fact or action.

 In fact the I is not necessary here, since it is never united directly to consciousness. 

One can even imagine a pure and self-aware consciousness which thinks of itself as impersonal spontaneity
