Therefore in Latin ..

Did Descartes write in Latin?

Or French?

I think he wrote in French and said "Je suis, Je pense".

I stand to be corrected

I don't speak Latin.

However, what I do know is that the academically accepted english translation, which I did study, does not say "I think therefore I am", but "I am, I think."

Based on that fact, I am forced to ask if the famous "cogito ergo sum" quote is accurate or part of the same mythology as "Ithink therefore I am."

I think that if it had been "cogito ergo sum" then it would have been translated as "therefore" and not the way you will find it if you look it up in "Les Meditations"
