Sheila Dow's concept of dualism: clarification, criticism and development
将道的二元论概念分解为八类，指出其定义不完善且缺乏实践相关性，通过发展定义增强其对主流经济学的批判力，并识别出“启发式二元论”作为论证中间步骤。
This paper analyses Dow's concept of dualism and decomposes it into eight categories, one not explicitly identified by Dow. It is argued that Dow's original definition is underdeveloped and thereby lacking practical relevance. The paper presents a development of Dow's definition, which allows her to attack the splitting of polar categories. This significantly increases the relevance of Dow's definition of dualism and buttresses her criticisms of the mainstream. The paper also identifies 'heuristic dualism' in Dow's work. A distinction can be made between Dow's 'heuristic dualism', which is strictly an intermediate step in an argument, and the mainstream use of fixed dualistic categories.
