How does the world operate according to Descartes?

:Dualism is the theory that reality or existence is divided into two parts. .

Explanation.. With his ties to dualism, Descartes believed the mind is the seat of our consciousness. Because it houses our drives, intellect, and passions, it gives us our identity and our sense of self.

The amount of objective reality an idea has is determined solely on the basis of the amount of formal reality contained in the thing being represented.
