本文藉由解構普遍主義與特殊主義，意即西方與非西方的定位，來曝露形塑這些差異的發言位置，並企圖消解西方及采方的想像性統令。與以往談法不同，本文指出，無論是西方或非西方的論述，率皆採取了某種未曾言明的立場，此fir它們的普遍主義與特殊主義，本文針對這種立場而解構之。作者不僅曝露形成這個分裂的發言位置，他還拆解所謂的西方與求方之統合性，因為正是這個說法才使得前述之發言位置，得以持續。一般認為普遍主義與特殊主義實乃水火不容，本文的論點與此相反，它試圖展示，此二者相互致化，彼此補充而從未真正有所街突;二者相互需妥，亟欲結合成為自成格局，互為奧援的關f系，如此，二者方始能夠閃躲對話，因為雙方若經對話，勢必危及它們各自棲身之安全的、和諧的獨白世界。普遍主義與特殊主義交互背書，以此隱藏各自的缺陷;二者緊密掛述，共謀成事。就此而論，類如氏在長主義這種性質的特殊主義，從來也就未能嚴正地批判普遍主義，因為前者是後者的共諜。

Deconstructing universalism and particularism as the unspoken positioning of the west and non-west， this article not only exposes the enunciative position which formulates the divide， but further disarticulates the putative unity of the west and the Orient which unholds the speaking position_ Contrary to what has been understood， this essay seeks to demonstrate that universalism and particularism reinforce and supplement each other; they are never in real conflict; they need each other and have to seek to form a symmetrical， mutually supporting relationship by every means in order to avoid a dialogic encounter which would necessarily jeopardize their reputedly secure and harmonized monologic worlds. Universalism and particularism endorse each other's defect in order to conceal their own; they are intimately tied to each other in their accomplice. In this respect， a particularism such as nationalism can never be a serious critique of universalism， for it is an accomplice thereof.
