Descartes saw the duality of man as being the separation of body and mind. In other words, all of nature and the universe has two sides - mind and matter. By separating the mind from the body, he made it possible for scientists to study nature without having to worry about the mind. In this way science becomes purely mechanical, not worrying about purposes, goals, and toher characteristics of the mind and spirit.

The duality of man refers to that inherent nature of man, to create good and evil. To use ones soul for good or bad purposes. The very nature that defines us as humans...

The duality is the Aathman(SOUL) and the Saariram(BODY) .When it is said BODY,it includes the Sthoolam(Somatic-the gross material body) and Sookshumam(the subtle Psychic body) Aaathman (Soul) is Saaswatham (Eternal-indestructible) and the Saariram(Body) is destructible and not Eternal.To know further one should deeply read the Vedhaantham of Hinduism

Carl Jung:
"The factors which come together in the coniunctio are conceived as opposites, either confronting one another in enimity or attracting one another in love. To begin with they form a dualism; for instance the opposites are humidum (moist)/siccum (dry), frigidum (cold)/ calidum (warm), superiora (upper, higher)/inferiora (lower), spiritus-anima (spirt-soul)/corpus (body), coelum (heaven)/terra (earth), ignis (fire)/aqua (water), bright/dark, agens (active)/patiens (passive), volatile (volatile, gaseous)/fixum (solid), pretiosum (precious, costly;also carum, dear)/vile (cheap, common), bonum (good)/malum (evil), manifestum (open)/occultum (occult;also celatum, hidden), oriens (East)/occidens (West), vivum (living)/mortuum (dead, inert), masculus (masculine)/foemina (feminine), Sol/Luna."

In what context?
In traditional hellenistic thought, it is the view that man is like an animal but also like a god.
