Dretske distances himself from the 'Causal Theory of Perception', introducing "a fundamental difference between causal and informational relationship".<ref name="ref18"/> He "ascribes perception to informational relations […] [and] assigns an important role to information in the explanation of the sensory and cognitive processes [allowing] him to present a clear definitionof objects of perception".<ref name="ref18"/> According to Dretske the perceived object is a component in the causal sensorial chain about which the the perception carries information.<ref name="ref18"/> The perceived object is the 'causal antecedent'of the chain as the 'object of perceptual state'. Realized as a primary representation of the object in the perceptual process.<ref name="ref18"/> | Dretske distances himself from the 'Causal Theory of Perception', introducing "a fundamental difference between causal and informational relationship".<ref name="ref18"/> He "ascribes perception to informational relations […] [and] assigns an important role to information in the explanation of the sensory and cognitive processes [allowing] him to present a clear definitionof objects of perception".<ref name="ref18"/> According to Dretske the perceived object is a component in the causal sensorial chain about which the the perception carries information.<ref name="ref18"/> The perceived object is the 'causal antecedent'of the chain as the 'object of perceptual state'.

Descartes method used four main principles also kmown s Descartes four rules of logic. To accept nothing as true that is not self-evident, unless known to be true. To divide every problem into as many parts as necessary to analyze and solve the problem. To conduct ones thoughts and find the easiest solutions, from the simplest to the more complex in order to proceed. To make enumerations so complete that nothing was omitted, to list every detail of the problem.<ref name="ref19"/> | Descartes method used four main principles also kmown s Descartes four rules of logic.
