 These passages convey that one’s apprehension of God eventually upgrades from being inferential, to being transparently self-evident. Granting that the meditator has achieved an apprehension of God of this kind, it plausibly explains why Descartes would think he’s achieved a final solution to the sceptical problem. Given his newfound epistemic standing, the meditator would be unable to make coherent sense of the Evil Genius Doubt. His clear and distinct perceptions would be fully indubitable, thereby counting as perfect knowledge.
