Descartes suggests that when we see, touch, or smell wax in its solid form we all call it wax, however, when that wax is melted it has changed completely but we still call it wax, the logic of which has been thought through and not sensed, if we had just sensed the new properties of the wax we most likely would…

This theme is accentuated by stories in Parms’ life that implore love and loss, but these stories that on…
