Abstract
The article considers the objective-idealistic component in the philosophy of R. Descartes. The main attention is paid to the combination of the multiplicity of its mutually correlating dualistic components with the philosopher's monistic position on the whole. This is done with a focus on its following main distinctive features. It is a dualistic picture of the universe as an incorporeal God, on the one hand, and a corporeal nature, on the other hand. It is also a dualistic idea of the human as consisting of an incorporeal part of the soul, which is recognized as his mind, and the body. Again, it is the dualistic recognition of the irrationality of a number of Christian ideas about God and the presence of rational components in them as well. Besides, it is the inclusion of both the listed and other dualistic ideas of Descartes in his generally monistic picture of all things, in which God is assigned the role of the only creator of everything else.
