English term or phrase: man’s happiness is twofold
St. Thomas Aquinas explains in the Summa Theologiae that "man’s happiness is twofold." The first happiness belongs to human nature and can be obtained by man’s natural efforts. The other, he writes, "is a happiness surpassing man’s nature and man can obtain by the power of God alone, by a kind of participation of the Godhead, about which it is written that by Christ we are made ‘partakers of the divine nature’ (2 Pet. 1:4)" (ST I-II.62.1). Because this supernatural happiness surpasses what man is naturally capable of, he is reliant on God to provide the ability to achieve it.

Reference: natură duală - un sens pozitiv și unul negativ ?

Reference information:
De fapt, nu este așa, cred că mai mult este vorba de o interpretare subiectivă a terenului.

Exemple ref. la natura duală: lumina, materia, etc.

Sau, filosofic vorbind:

In philosophy of mind, dualism is a set of views about the relationship between mind and matter, which begins with the claim that mental phenomena are, in some respects, non-physical.[1]

Ideas on mind/body dualism are presented in Hebrew Scripture (as early as Genesis 2:7) where the Creator is said to have formed the first human a living, psycho-physical fusion of mind and body--a holisitic dualism. Mind/body dualism is also seen in the writings of Zarathushtra. Plato and Aristotle deal with speculations as to the existence of an incorporeal soul that bore the faculties of intelligence and wisdom. They maintained, for different reasons, that people's "intelligence" (a faculty of the mind or soul) could not be identified with, or explained in terms of, their physical body.[2][3]

A generally well-known version of dualism is attributed to René Descartes (1641), which holds that the mind is a nonphysical substance. Descartes was the first to clearly identify the mind with consciousness and self-awareness and to distinguish this from the brain, which was the seat of intelligence. Hence, he was the first to formulate the mind-body problem in the form in which it exists today.[4] Dualism is contrasted with various kinds of monism, including physicalism and phenomenalism. Substance dualism is contrasted with all forms of materialism, but property dualism may be considered a form of emergent materialism and thus would only be contrasted with non-emergent materialism.[5] This article discusses the various forms of dualism and the arguments which have been made both for and against this thesis.
