Summary/Abstract: In this text the author deals with a problem of self-establishing of a reasonable Subject as a condition of possibility for obtaining the knowledge. By analysis of Descartes Meditations the author tries to show that the nature of cogito is the closest to his determination of madness, and that procedure of meditation can not provide the self-identity of Subject. One of the conclusions is that Descartes, escaping from self-un-identical cogito finds himself in the insane identity of res cogitans.
