Intro.. 1 The primordial pair. 2 The cosmic dance. 3 The two brothers. 4 Ultimate dualism. 5 Dismemberment remembered

'This particular volume is the by-product of many years' interest in types of relationship which are at once difficult to express in language and yet fundamental to the order of life itself. I speak of the polar, reciprocal, or mutually sustaining relationship of events and forces that are usually considered to be opposed to or basically separate from one another. These "oppositions" include not only life and death, good and evil, light and darkness, but also the organism and its environment, the self and the not-self, the solid and the space, and the knower and the known...' --Preface
