Tractatus de Intellectus Emendatione or On The Improvement Of The Understanding, is a seventeenth century unfinished work of philosophy by the 17th century philosopher Baruch Spinoza. The Tractatus was first published in 1677, the year of his death, by some of Spinoza's most close friends, along with other works including the Ethica and the Tractatus Politicus[1]. The Tractatus is an attempt to formulate a philosophical method that would allow the mind to form the clear and distinct ideas that are necessary for its perfection. It contains, in addition, reflection upon the various kinds of knowledge, an extended treatment of definition, and a lengthy analysis of the nature and causes of doubt. The characteristic of the work is the discussion of different form of perception at Chapter IV and illustration of the best one in relation with the experience and intellegence at the next Chapter. He also treated the issue of memory and forgetting.
