and independent elements, as matter and spirit. (Theol.)
(b) A system which accepts two gods, or two original
principles, one good and the other evil.
(c) The doctrine that all mankind are divided by the
arbitrary decree of God, and in his eternal
foreknowledge, into two classes, the elect and the

thing is a half, and suggests another thing to make
it whole. --Emerson.
