This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.

This Core Concept video focuses on Rene Descartes' work, The Meditations, specifically on meditation 2 and his famous "bit of wax" (moreceau de cire) example, which he uses to illustrate the nature of extended substance, and the ways in which we perceive that substance, either through the senses, or through the intellect.
