The [[w:Yoruba religion|Yorùbá]] believe that good character (''iwa pele'') results from internal balance of the head ([[w:ori (Yoruba)|ori]]), the seat of reason and destiny, and the spirits ([[w:orisha|orisha]]), which can represent different aspects of the human experience. Central to the [[w:Ifá|Ifá]] system is [[w:Ọrunmila|Ọrunmila]], the orisha of wisdom and knowledge.{{sfn|Neimark|2018}}
 
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 wisdomintelligent 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 wisdomintelligence and emotions are in harmony with each other.
 
In 1993, [[w:Marsha Linehan]] centered the [[w: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."{{sfn|Linehan|1993|p=28}} Using the principles of polarity and inherent oppositions within any proposition,{{sfn|Linehan|1993|p=32}} Linehan presents the concepts of the "reasonable mind" and the "emotion mind" and their integration, "wise mind." Linehan argues that this synthesis leads to a state of mental balance where an individual can acknowledge and respect their emotional experiences while also applying rational thought to their actions and beliefs.{{sfn|Linehan|1993|p=214}}
 
This prompts the question, however: how did these philosophers justify their belief in the dual-process theory and the synthesis of minds?
