Cogito cogito ergo cogito sum

Cogito cogito ergo cogito sum

Summary

This quote, "Cogito cogito ergo cogito sum", translates to "I think, I think, therefore I think, I am." It highlights the concept of existence and self-awareness through thought. The repetition emphasizes the importance of thinking in validating one's own existence and being. It implies that the act of thinking itself is evidence of one's existence, as it is through introspection and reflection that we affirm our own reality as thinking beings. This quote encapsulates the philosophical idea of cogito ergo sum, or "I think, therefore I am," coined by RenÃ© Descartes.

In childhood's pride I said to Thee:O Thou, who mad'st me of Thy breath,Speak, Master, and reveal to meThine inmost laws of life and death.Give me to drink each joy and painWhich Thine eternal hand can mete,For my insatiate soul can drainEarth's utmost bitter, utmost sweet.Spare me no bliss, no pang of strife,Withhold no gift or grief I crave,The intricate lore of love and lifeAnd mystic knowledge of the grave.Lord, Thou didst answer stern and low:Child, I will hearken to thy prayer,And thy unconquered soul shall knowAll passionate rapture and despair.Thou shalt drink deep of joy and fame,And love shall burn thee like a fire,And pain shall cleanse thee like a flame,To purge the dross from thy desire.So shall thy chastened spirit yearnTo seek from its blind prayer release,And spent and pardoned, sue to learnThe simple secret of My peace.I, bending from my sevenfold height,Will teach thee of My quickening grace,Life is a prism of My light,And Death the shadow of My face.
