That's how it's usually translated in Spanish. Cogito, ergo sum. -> Pienso, luego existo.

- riahi 18y agoThat's interesting, because staying truer to the latin would result in "Pienso, luego soy"
- euccastro 18y agoThere's also an interesting confusion in Spanish, where "luego" can be understood as either "therefore" or "after"/"next thing". I think it's the same ambivalence you'd have with "I think, then I exist." I don't know whether the latin original had that ambiguity.
- samuel 18y agoBoth translations from latin are indeed correct. But Descartes first used the french "Je pense, donc je suis" so yours is probably more correct.
