Cartesian dualism directly relates to consciousness by positing that the nature of mind or consciousness is entirely distinct from physical nature [1], with consciousness inhering in non-physical minds or selves as per substance dualism [2]. This connection is further highlighted in contrasts with other views like panpsychism, which avoids the interaction dilemma of Cartesian dualism regarding consciousness [3].
