lienshan Posted May 3, 2013 The word DUALITY has naturally TWO modern English definitions: Dichotomy duality was the definition that Shen Dao preferred. Division into two usually contradicting parts. The phase of the moon, when half of the disk is illuminated. Yin and Yang, the fluid and the vapor. Wave-particle duality was the definition that Laozi preferred. The exhibition of both wavelike and particlelike properties by a single entity, as of both diffraction and linear propagation by light. "a tao or to tao" put in Laozi's own Words from chapter 1, line 1. Zhuangzi was either Zhuangzi or a butterfly dreaming, that it was Zhuangzi. Shen Dao invented "THE GREAT ONE" to make his definition work. Laozi's definition works as is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
