The Discussion and the Conclusion: In Meditation II, Descartes introduces the “Wax Analogy” in order to demonstrate conclusively that things are known through the intellect rather than the senses and that the mind is better known than the body. Specifically, the argument is concerned with how we know rather than what we know. The argument concentrates on transformation— that is, a piece of wax melting into liquid wax. Descartes states that our senses allow us to know about a piece of wax:…

The arguments are related to Descartes and Berkeley’s different…

He believes that sensation cannot dictate certainty in a situation, as illustrated…

In “The Story of an Hour” The reader proceeds through a journey. The journey is the travelling through thoughts and emotions in Mrs. Mallards (Louise) mind. The journey only takes an hour, so the story moves along quickly.

She moves right into the reaction of grieving for her spouse. This seems more real to us,…
