Cogito ergo sum
''ラテン語:Cogito ergo sum'' is a Latin philosophical proposition by フランス語:René Descartes usually translated into English as "I think, therefore I am". The phrase originally appeared in French as in his ''Discourse on the Method'', so as to reach a wider audience than Latin would have allowed. It appeared in Latin in his later ''Principles of Philosophy''. As Descartes explained, "()e cannot doubt of our existence while we doubt … ." A fuller form, ''ラテン語:dubito, ergo cogito, ergo sum'' ("I doubt, therefore I think, therefore I am”), aptly captures Descartes’ intent.
This proposition became a fundamental element of Western philosophy, as it purported to form a secure foundation for knowledge in the face of radical doubt. While other knowledge could be a figment of imagination, deception, or mistake, Descartes asserted that the very act of doubting one's own existence served—at minimum—as proof of the reality of one's own mind; there must be a thinking entity—in this case the self—for there to be a thought.
==In Descartes's writings==
Descartes first wrote the phrase in French in his 1637 ''Discourse on the Method''. He referred to it in Latin without explicitly stating the familiar form of the phrase in his 1641 ''Meditations on First Philosophy''. The earliest written record of the phrase in Latin is in his 1644 ''Principles of Philosophy'', where, in a margin note, he provides a clear explanation of his intent. Fuller forms of the phrase are attributable to other authors.
