The '''dual-process dialectic of mind''' is a framework that builds upon the foundational principles of [[w:dual process theory|dual process theory]], which posits the existence of two distinct systems in human cognition: the [[intuitive mind]] and the [[logical mind]]. It seems apparent that negative [[w:schema (psychology)|schemata]] originate from usage of the intuitive mind where logic is needed. Thus, with this view, it becomes necessary to dialectically create a synthesis or "[[synthetic mind]]" in order to locate [[cognitive distortions]] that have become schemata (using intuitive faculties) and eliminate them (using logical faculties).
 
== History ==
The dialectic of mind has been independently reacheddeveloped by several ancient philosophers.:
 
[[w:Plato|Plato]] envisioned the soul as a chariot, with the [[w:logos|logistikon]] (representing intellect and reason) as the driver; the horses pulling the cart are [[w:thumos|thymoeides]] and [[w:eros|epithymetikon]], our spirit and our desires.{{sfn|Plato|2008|loc=[https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0174%3Atext%3DPhaedrus%3Asection%3D246a 246a–b]}} Plato advocated for a state of justice - balance within the soul, where each part performs its function without overriding the others. The rational part should guide the individual, with the spirited and appetitive part supporting its decisions without dominating the soul.{{sfn|Plato|1998|loc=[https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0168%3Abook%3D4%3Asection%3D433a 4.433a]}} [[w:Aristotle|Aristotle]] distinguished between the intellectual virtues of the mind capable of reason, and the ethical virtues of the mind capable of emotion.
