ABSTRACT
On the other hand, it is rather difficult to expound the argument of the Meditations without sliding into such improbable assertions as ‘Descartes notes that he had little by little lost all faith in his senses by finding that towers which looked round from a distance looked square close-up.’ I will not try to avoid this mode of expression completely, but will try to avoid what seem to me the more serious pitfalls associated with it.
