Descartes; Perception, Knowledge and the Inspection of Objects

Abstract: This argumentative 6 page paper considers the way that we perceive objects according to Descartes. The paper examines the separation of the physical senses and the mind which may use innate knowledge. The writer explains the imperfect and the clear and distinct methods of inspection, arguing that this is not a viable argument, and that innate knowledge relies upon input of the senses and of the corporeal world. The bibliography cites 2 sources.
