I've been doing some thinking, and I wanted to ask some opinions:

Can monism and dualism co-exist, or can one believe in both of these at the same time?

In this sense, one would break down a more monist view of the universe into two separate dualistic aspects. Does this go again their very definitions, or am I safe to use that as a description of belief?

I only want to establish some idea of the terms I might use, since I don't want to get confused in what I'm trying to say :)

Thanks to any and all replies made :)
