Dualism designates âtwo partsâ and is the position that the universe consists of two opposing principles -- though not limited to only two. There are variations within dualism. Moral dualism would see the opposites of good and evil. Personal dualism would deal with the human being as consisting of mind and body. There are property dualists (the mind is a property of physical matter), and substance dualists (the mind is a different substance than physical matter). Religious dualism is the belief that there are two opposite powers in the universe: good and evil.
