12. Knowledge Sources / B. Perception / 1. Perception

19419	Not all of perception is accompanied by consciousness [Leibniz]
	Full Idea: I do not think that the Cartesians have ever proved or can prove that every perception is accompanied by consciousness.
	From: Gottfried Leibniz (Principle of Life and Plastic Natures [1705], p.195)
	A reaction: This idea is very important in Leibniz, because non-conscious or barely conscious thoughts and perceptions explain a huge amount about behaviour, reality and morality.
