This lecture discusses the 16th century philosopher Rene Descartes' work The Meditations on First Philosophy, and focuses on his fifth meditation. This episode discusses Descartes' assertion that he can rely upon matters that - although he does not perceive or conceive of them clearly and distinctly at present - he did previously grasp clearly and distinctly.
