How many trasnlations can u give m for this sentence:"Doubt is the origin of wisdom." from Descartes

Question

Answer

The original version of Descartes' Meditations (1641) was in Latin: "Dubium sapientiae initium".  I'm not sure how this was translated in the French version of 1647.  The standard English translation is "Doubt is the origin of wisdom."  

Does this answer your question?  To be honest, I'm not sure what you are looking for.  Do you want alternative English translations of the original Latin / French?
