Dualism Quotations
I believe in general in a dualism between facts and the ideas of those facts in human heads.
George Santayana
Male and female represent the two sides of the great radical dualism. But in fact they are perpetually passing into one another. Fluid hardens to solid, solid rushes to fluid. There is no wholly masculine man, no purely feminine woman.
Margaret Fuller
In the first place, Descartes stands for the most explicit and uncompromising dualism between mind and matter.
James M. Baldwin
The dualism itself becomes a sort of presupposition or datum; its terms condition the further problem.
James M. Baldwin
Beauty saves. Beauty heals. Beauty motivates. Beauty unites. Beauty returns us to our origins, and here lies the ultimate act of saving, of healing, of overcoming dualism.
Matthew Fox
