DUALISM

Du "al *ism, n. Etym: [Cf. F. dualisme.]

 

Defn: State of being dual or twofold; a twofold division; any system which is founded on a double principle, or a twofold distinction; as: (a ) (Philos.) A view of man as constituted of two original and independent elements, as matter and spirit. (Theol.)(b ) A system which accepts two gods, or two original principles, one good and the other evil. (c ) The doctrine that all mankind are divided by the arbitrary decree of God, and in his eternal foreknowledge, into two classes, the elect and the reprobate. (d ) (Physiol.) The theory that each cerebral hemisphere acts independently of the other. An inevitable dualism bisects nature, so that each thing is a half, and suggests another thing to make it whole. Emerson.
