Cartesian materialism is a philosophical viewpoint that combines elements of Cartesian dualism with a materialist perspective. The term can be understood through its connection to René Descartes, a 17th-century philosopher who famously proposed a dualistic view of reality—separating the mind (res cogitans) and body (res extensa). Descartes believed that the mind is non-material and fundamentally different from physical substances, which contributed significantly to the development of modern philosophy's understanding of consciousness and existence.
