dualism
Mind-body division theory
Dualism is the division of something into two opposed or contrasting aspects.
In philosophy, it often refers to the view that mind and body are fundamentally different substances—Cartesian dualism.
Religious dualism posits opposing forces of good and evil.
The term appears wherever thinkers emphasize binary division rather than unity or multiplicity: the dualism of nature and culture.
