Descartes wax discussion in his Meditations

[Go_Blue88]

Hey guys,

I'm currently writing a paper about the possible purposes of Descartes' wax discussion in his Meditations. So far, my primary argument is that he uses it to show the epistemological narrator that sense perception has no purpose whatsoever. Also, I'll probably mention how this functions as an awful personal identity argument.

But, I was wondering if any of you had any opinions on this matter? I certainly wouldn't take your ideas, I have my own. I'm just curious as to what others think.
