Dualism
Dualism is a condition that afflicts the philosophy of most people today. Inculcated as a religious truth its cancerous growth is unstoppable. Dualism essentially identifies two irreducible concepts.
Metaphysical Dualism concerns itself with properties such as good and evil. In the Judaeo-Christian tradition metaphysical dualism concerns itself with the battle of God and Satan
Epistemological Dualism concerns itself with the knowable and the unknowable. We know about our surroundings through our senses. So there are in reality two spheres of knowledge: Reality and what we perceive of reality. It is impossible for us to transcend our senses to see into reality.
An excellent site for more manichaean info
