1. Dualism

   Dualism denotes a state of two parts. The term 'dualism' was originally coined to denote co-eternal binary opposition, a meaning that is preserved in metaphysical and philosophical duality discourse but has been diluted in general or common usages. Dualism can refer to moral dualism, mind-body or mind-matter dualism or physical dualism. Dualism holds to the belief that there are two elements of existence: Physical and Spiritual.
