Line 9:
Traditional Chinese schools of martial arts, such as the famed [[w:Shaolin Monastery|Shaolin]] monks, often dealt with the study of martial arts not just as a means of self-defense or mental training, but as a system of ethics.{{sfn|Deng|1990}}{{sfn|Hsu|1998}} ''Wude'' ({{lang|zh|[[wiktionary:武|武]] [[wiktionary:德|德]]}}; "martial morality") deals with two virtues: "virtue of deed" and "virtue of mind". Virtue of deed concerns social relations; virtue of mind is meant to cultivate the inner harmony between the emotional mind ({{lang|zh|[[wiktionary:心|心]]}}; ''xin'') and the wisdom mind ({{lang|zh|[[wiktionary:慧|慧]]}}; ''hui''). The ultimate goal is reaching "no extremity" ({{lang|zh|[[wiktionary:無|無]] [[wiktionary:極|極]]}}; [[w:wuji (philosophy)|wuji]]) where both wisdom and emotions are in harmony with each other.
In 1993, [[Marsha Linehan]] centered the [[Hegelian dialectic]] as used by [[w:Karl Marx]] and [[w:Friedrich Engels]] in the context of "a shift toward dialectical approaches in almost every social and natural science during the last 150 years."
This prompts the question, however: how did these philosophers justify their belief in the dual-process theory and the synthesis of minds?
