Descartes' dualism posits that the mind and body are two distinct substances, with the mind being immaterial and the body being material. In contrast, Sankhya dualism, from the ancient Indian philosophy, identifies two fundamental realities: purusha (consciousness) and prakriti (matter), with purusha being unchanging and distinct from the ever-changing prakriti.
Descartes arrives at his distinction between mind and matter through his method of doubt, where he questions the certainty of all his beliefs. He concludes that while the existence of the external world may be uncertain, the existence of his own mind as a thinking thing is indubitable. This leads to his famous formulation of the mind-body dualism.
