I'm not an expert but you might consider: Descartes believes that human error arises because the scope of the will is wider than that of the intellect: the will is infinite, but the intellect is finite. The problem arises because the intellect, being finite, cannot distinctly perceive everything. As such, some perceptions are confused.
