Dualism PDF

Dualism refers to several philosophical positions that see reality as consisting of two fundamental parts or principles. These include mind-body dualism which sees the mind and body as distinct, property dualism which distinguishes physical and mental properties, and cosmological dualism which views concepts like good and evil as fundamentally opposed. Dualism may also apply to systems with intelligent adversaries, certain schools of Indian philosophy that see reality as composed of two parts, the separation of cabinet and parliament in politics, and whether the world we perceive is real or an internal copy generated by the brain.

concepts, such as "good" and "evil", and that these two concepts are in every way opposed to
