Yes. One symptom is the apparent religious belief that there can be only one cause for a phenomenum. Eg, the germ theory vs terrain theory. Fanatics for both theories don't seem to recognize that both poor terrain and germs are required for illness (in most cases). Toxins that overwhelm the body's terrain are the most obvious exception, but then they aren't germs, are they?
For my part, the closest I come to being Manichean is my belief that government-created limited liability private corporations are central to most of the problems of modern society. However, even there the belief that collectives should have the same rights as individual human organisms is also a cause of those problems.
