拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生：随笔·摘录 24
拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生《随笔》· Essays · 健康 · 行动 · 哲学
POLARITY,[97] or action and reaction, we meet in every part of nature; in darkness and light; in heat and cold; in the ebb and flow of waters; in male and female; in the inspiration and expiration of plants and animals; in the equation of quantity and quality in the fluids of the animal body; in the systole and diastole[98] of the heart; in the undulations of fluids, and of sound; in the centrifugal and centripetal gravity; in electricity, galvanism, and chemical affinity. Superinduce magnetism at one end of a needle; the opposite magnetism takes place at the other end. If the south attracts, the north repels. To empty here, you must condense there. An inevitable dualism bisects nature, so that each thing is a half, and suggests another thing to make it whole; as, spirit, matter; man, woman; odd, even; subjective, objective; in, out; upper, under; motion, rest; yea, nay.

白话
爱默生指出，极性或作用与反作用无处不在：明暗、冷热、潮汐、雌雄、呼吸、心脏收缩舒张、引力离心力、电磁等。自然界充满二元对立，每个事物都只是一半，需要另一半才完整。比如磁针一端有磁性，另一端必相反；要这里空，那里就得满。这种二元性不可避免，它提醒我们：任何事物都有对立面，看问题要看到整体和平衡，不要只执着于一面。
上下文
爱默生《随笔集》中“极性”一章的开篇，阐述自然界的二元对立规律。
