Dualism: The Struggle for Order is a book written by Count Goblet d'Alviella that delves into the concept of dualism and its impact on society throughout history. The book explores the idea of dualism as a struggle between opposing forces, such as good and evil, light and dark, and order and chaos. It examines the ways in which dualistic beliefs have influenced religion, philosophy, and politics, and how they continue to shape our understanding of the world today.The book begins by exploring the origins of dualistic beliefs in ancient cultures, such as Zoroastrianism and Gnosticism, and how these beliefs have evolved over time. It then examines the impact of dualism on Christianity, Islam, and other major religions, as well as on Western philosophy and political thought.Throughout the book, d'Alviella argues that dualistic beliefs have played a crucial role in shaping our understanding of the world and our place in it. He contends that the struggle between opposing forces is a fundamental aspect of human experience, and that dualism provides a framework for understanding this struggle and finding a sense of order in an otherwise chaotic world.Overall, Dualism: The Struggle for Order is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of one of the most fundamental concepts in human history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, religion, or the history of ideas.THIS 56 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Hibbert Lectures 1891: Lectures on the Origin and Growth of the Conception of God as Illustrated by Anthropology and History, by Count Goblet D'Alviella.
