"I think, therefore I am" comes from Descartes' philosophical proposition, which confirms the legitimacy of human knowledge.

"I think therefore I am" means thinking for me, therefore I am.

To sum up, I love so I think, I think so I am, I am so I really mean: I will love so I can think, I think so I exist, so I am real.

Extended data

Descartes' "I think, therefore I am" is the starting point of all Descartes' epistemological philosophy and the end point of his "universal doubt". From this point, he confirmed the legitimacy of human knowledge. That is to say, Descartes is an idealist, but not from this proposition. "I think, therefore I am" is not an idealist proposition, but the content of pure epistemology.

Controversy:

In the eyes of people who believe in empiricism and materialism, Descartes has a fatal handle, that is, his famous saying that has echoed for centuries: "I think, therefore I am."

This famous saying, which Descartes regarded as the starting point of his own philosophical system, was regarded as the general representative of extreme subjective idealism in the academic circles of Eastern Europe and China, and was severely criticized. Many people even take "existence must precede consciousness" and "there can be no thought without body" as arguments.
