'Double-mindedness' is psychologically objective. the person could not be 'double-minded' in the first place if he were not conscious of an object through a formal self-consciousness via a simple subjectivity. Descartes et al are not saying that man lacks existential subjectivity (which would make him angelic), of which 'double-mindedness' is a necessary aspect. To continue to press existential conditions on the subject in order to contradict the subject's essential unity is something of a rhetorical exercise.
