We have a huge influx of non-dualist posters due to the Guenon and Vedanta threads, so hows abouts we get a dualism discussion going. I have no issues with non dualism by the way, it's an interesting point of view, but I'd really like some recommendations on dualist points of view. Tell me about the cosmic war between good and evil, senpai
Dualism
zend avesta i would imagine, don’t know what edition/translation

I only know of two complete translations and they are both over 100 years old. I don't think it really matters all that much.
how long is the text? should i just read an abridgment ?
Could we move this to muh homeboard, /his/
no way
i mean more along the lines of cosmic war between good and evil dualism, not creator-creation dualism

Friendly reminder that Augustine refuted dualism

friendly reminder that all enlightened thought refuted dualism
The Forgotten Books has the complete Zend-Avestas in three volumes. Take that as you will. If you just want the core parts, read the Gathas.
Philosophy and metaphysics threads on /his/ just degenerate into autistic haplogroup and similar genetic stuff related to the group responsible for the philosophy in question. It's like a shitty version of /pol/ but without the brilliant acerbic humor and cutting edge memes.

I made a topic on dualism recently here:
Here were the texts I recommended:
1) Gathas translated by Mary Boyce and Piloo Nanavutty -- I recommend reading both translations
2) Cologne Mani Codex, Shabhuragan, and just Manichaeist fragments that were uncovered
3) Mandaeanism
4) Some general descriptions of Cathars I guess, though I need to study them more
Best translations of Gathas come from both Mary Boyce and Piloo Nanavutty. I recommend reading both. Start with Boyce and then Nanavutty.
