   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.

       [1913 Webster]

             An inevitable dualism bisects nature, so that each
             thing is a half, and suggests another thing to make
             it whole.                            --Emerson.
       [1913 Webster]
