In the Meditations, Descartes is searching for a belief which he can be certain in. He’s looking for a foundation to build off of which isn’t tainted by doubt. To do this, he critically analyzes many beliefs we hold and finds room for doubt in them. Eventually he comes across one belief he cannot doubt, that he thinks. Because he thinks, there must be a subject to do that thinking, therefore, he exists. To find the specific phrase, “I think, therefore I am,” we need to look at part four of the Discourse on Method.
