For 10 points, name this six-part book which condenses ideas from the earlier Discourse on Method, by Rene Descartes
One section of this text divides ideas into "innate," "adventitious," and "factitious" types. Early in its final section, the author notes that he cannot imagine the individual sides of a thousand-sided "chiliagon" as easily as he can three sides of a triangle. Its second section, meant to be read a day after its first, describes a faculty called the "natural light" and establishes the "clear and distinct" test. This work asserts that perception "by the intellect alone", rather than any physical properties, allows one to identify a piece of wax. The first section of this text hypothesizes a "malicious demon" that deceives all senses, prompting the author to methodically doubt everything but himself.
