Dualism
Dualism is a doctrine that decrees that there are two completely antagonistic principles, one of good and the other of evil, whose actions determine the origin and evolution of the world and humanity. These principles should be independent of each other, but related for some reason that will vary depending on what it is used for.
It is, then, a philosophical and religious system that accept and converge in the existence of two principles that are diverse and contrary to each other. In this sense, dualism allows the belief of body and spirit as a complete composition of the human being, that they can interact with each other but are independent and antagonistic principles.
There are several branches of dualism, namely:
-
- theological or religious: establishes a division between good and evil. Representing in this sense, the good as the light, the divinity, God, and the evil as the dark, the negative, the devil.
- cosmogonic : which is a completely mythical type of dualism through which it is responsible for explaining the origin of the cosmos.
- philosophical or metaphysical: various authors introduced this belief such as Descartes recognized as the first in his area to accept the existence of two different substances. spirit, matter or body. Aristotle refers to good and evil while Plato talks about the world of matter and the world of ideas.
