An idea from Critique of Pure Reason

Reason reaches for 3 grand ideas: a soul, a world as one whole, and God. Take the soul. Every thought carries an I think, but that I is only a form of thought. It does not prove a simple, lasting thing that could outlive the body.

From Critique of Pure Reason by Immanuel Kant
