Black-and-white dualism
The
contrast
of
white
and
black
(
light
and
darkness
,
day
and
night
) has a long tradition of
metaphorical
usage, tractable to the
Ancient Near East
, and explicitly in the
Pythagorean
Table of Opposites
. In
Western culture
as well as in
Confucianism
, the contrast symbolizes the moral dichotomy of
good and evil
.
