Nelson on Descartes's Theory of Perception and Judgment

Nelson's Cartesian Perceptualism and Judgmentism Summary: One of the tensions in Descartes' human error description is that, despite the fact that God is our omnipotent omnipotent creator, we are accused of will It comes from our view that it is. . In this article, I will explain Descartes' second pressure against human error. After explaining the tension, I reviewed Alan Nelson's explanation of the Descartes approach to disarmament it. The explanation of Nielsen is nearly correct, but I think that it hides some interesting details of Descartes' recognition and judgment theory.

In order to solve the problem, the meditator began to investigate the cause of the error. Descartes suggested his judgmentism during the discussion. Determine cooperation from intelligence and will. As a result of the investigation, the cause of the error was judged to be inappropriate use of our free will. Errors will arise if the intent agrees with a proposition with clear and unclear understanding of intelligence. Because we have the right to avoid mistakes, these mistakes are our responsibility.

Descartes' minimum standard is aimed at the level of certainty that arises when the perception of the mind is clear and clear. (For Descartes, clarity is in contrast to ambiguity, clarity is in stark contrast to confusion.) He is clear and unique (at least for those who have not read the meditation yet) We acknowledge the abolition of decision based on recognition. Said). However, he often uses terms (eg, "awareness" and its synonyms) to describe determinable decisions with this level of certainty. It translates well into English "knowledge" (and its synonyms).

In this article, I refer to "Wax theory" proposed by Rene Descartes and explain that it is a valid discussion, but it is not so rational. In Descartes' claim, he observed a part of the wax from the nest box and analyzed the structure and characteristics of the wax with his judgment and sensation. By doing so he gives the view that wax can not be explained with visual, tactile, or smell, but by heart action to ensure that things are genuine and considered physical objects I can explain. In this discussion, he is trying to explain the difference between judgment and perception. While showing two differences, he revealed the concept of rationalism. The concept of rationalism is based on the definition of the theory of congenital concepts and some general propositions can prove that it applies before or before empirical verification. . Experians believe that perception and sensation are false and misleading.
