What is cogito ego sum?

Answer 1

Literally, "I think therefore I am". It is a philosophical statement that means a person or object that can think must exist in order to be able to do so, but that they cannot verify the existence of anything else, nor can anything verify the first object's existence independently.
I think therefore I am.

Answer 2

The correct quote is "Cogito Ergo Sum", and it means "I think, therefore I am". That was wrote by Renè Descartes, a philosopher, and by that he meant that you can doubt all your senses, including your sight. You might be no more than a brain in a jar. But, as long as you can think, you can be certain of your own existence.

It does NOT mean that thought is a required condition for existence, of course, just that it's the only thing you can be certain of in a world of perceptions you can trust.

Certainly other people can explain that better than me, but I hope I have helped.

Answer 3

It means "I think, therefore I am armed." Although it should be armatus sum or armata sum unless you are of the neuter gender.

"I am thinking, therefore I exist."

This is a more accurate translation/rendering of cogito ergo sum or je pense, donc je suis.
