Editing Cogito, ergo sum (section)

=== Other forms ===
The proposition is sometimes given as {{lang|la|dubito, ergo cogito, ergo sum}}. This form was penned by the French literary critic, [[Antoine Léonard Thomas]],{{efn|Thomas was known in his time for his great eloquence especially for éloges in praise of past luminaries.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Stephens|first=Henry Morse|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=SlkyAQAAMAAJ|title=Mirabeau. Vergniaud. Gensonné. Guadet. Louvet.

With rearrangement and compaction, the passage translates to "I doubt, therefore I think, therefore I am," or in Latin, "''dubito, ergo cogito, ergo sum''."{{efn|The 1765 work, ''Éloge de René Descartes'',<ref name=Thomas1765 /> by Antoine Léonard Thomas, was awarded the 1765 Le Prix De L'académie Française and republished in the 1826 compilation of Descartes's work, ''Oeuvres de Descartes''<ref name=Cousin1824 /> by [[Victor Cousin]]. The French text is available in [http://www.gutenberg.org/files/13846/13846-h/13846-h.htm more accessible format] at Project Gutenberg. The compilation by Cousin is credited with a revival of interest in Descartes.<ref name=Edinburgh1890 /><ref name=Descartes2007 />}} This aptly captures Descartes's intent as expressed in his posthumously published ''La Recherche de la Vérité par La Lumiere Naturale'' as noted above: '''''I doubt, therefore I am''''' — or what is the same — '''''I think, therefore I am'''''.

A further expansion, {{lang|la|dubito, ergo cogito, ergo sum—res cogitans}} ("…—a thinking thing") extends the ''cogito'' with Descartes's statement in the subsequent ''Meditation'', {{lang|la|"Ego sum res cogitans, id est dubitans, affirmans, negans, pauca intelligens, multa ignorans, volens, nolens, imaginans etiam et sentiens…"}} ("I am a thinking [conscious] thing, that is, a being who doubts, affirms, denies, knows a few objects, and is ignorant of many, [who loves, hates,]{{Efn|the French adds "loves, hates"; hence Veitch's inclusion despite its absence from the Latin here. see Cottingham, J.
