The piece of wax argument is the following: when it has been taken quite freshly from the hive, it has not yet lost the sweetness of the honey which it contains; it still retains the odor of the flowers from which it has been culled; its color, its figure and its size are apparent; it is hard, cold, easily handled, and if you strike it with the finger, it will emit a sound. But when one brings the wax toward the fire, the wax melts. ... Descartes thinks this ˇ§argumentˇ¨ shows the mind is better known than the body (things in the world).
