I will ask the question again, how do you get your interpretation from Descartes writings? Aedes proves a good point, I too can give you plenty of other quotes from both the Meditations and the Discourse on the Method that show what Descartes meant with his Cogito. However, I am not going to do so. I would rather hear how you get your interpretation.
