In Descartes' Wax Example, he describes a wax candle heating up and changing all of the properties we can perceive, yet we still perceive it to be wax, which he explains is a result of our intellectual sense of substance. Locke expands on this with his idea of substratum, the substance of a thing that is free of characteristics. However, he believes the substratum is imperceptible because it cannot be sensed in a physical way and rejects Decartes notion of the intellectual sense.

What is the comparison between Rene Descartes' and John Locke's theory of substance?
Descartes had a dualist substance theory and believed that there were two substances, the mind and the body.
