Abstract

One of the enduring constructs that exist in intellectual life is the concept of dualism. Based on Cartesian analysis and broadened by popular connotation, dualistic perspectives allow the world to be conceived as the tension between opposing forces: good and evil; open and closed; physical and spiritual; practical and theoretical. When transitions between any set of extremes are abrupt, conflict emerges. Unsmoothed or abrupt divisions of internal psychological states are termed schizoid-and that brings me to my reaction to the book.
