Document Summary
Bodies are perceive day intellect alone, and this understanding doesn"t derive form our senes but from their being understood. Lays down the rule of whatever i perceive very clearly and distinctly is true. If my judgment is true, it is not thanks to my perception. In order to remove doubt, mis examine if there is a god, and if there is, if he can be a deceiver. Classify thoughts into certain kinds which can bear truth and falsity. Thoughts need to be on guard for making mistakes are judgments. Most common mistake of judgments judging that the ideas which are in me, resemble or conform to, things located outside of me.

Some blind impulse has made us believe judgments about external things distinct for ourselves.
