| Tiivistelmä: | Dualism, a doctrine espousing that everything in the universe is divided into polar opposites, is a defining characteristic of social discourse around the world. This phenomenon is studied here and it is suggested that dualism's centrality in language, thougt and action produces divisiveness and limits conflicts resolution options. It is proposed here that more dynamical systems of interpretation originating from a broad range of disciplines including linguistics, the physical sciences and Eastern religions can be useful in a variety of conflict resolution situations because they encourage more complex and creative thinking. |
