A philosophical view in any individual is meaningless (7)
I believe the answer is:
dualism
'a philosophical view' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to thinking as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'in any individual is meaningless' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'DUALISM' can be found hidden inside 'any individual is meaningless'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dualism that I've seen before include "Division into two opposed aspects" , "Belief in two basic entities" , "Eg, what Yin and Yang represent" .)
