Cartesian dualism directly concerns the nature of the mind as distinct from the physical body or matter, defining the person as identical to the soul/mind in a physical shell [1] and positing mind or consciousness as entirely distinct from physical nature [2]. This view refuses to integrate the mind into the scientific picture of the physical world [3], with works like John Foster's book defending the Cartesian dualist conception of mind [4].
