Is the idea of 'binary oppositions' a Western philosophical construct?  If
so, who discusses this?  I am mentioning in a paper that the binary
opposition-- universalism vs. cultural relativism--is something the 'West'
has come up with (arguing that universal is not at all universal), but I am
assuming.  Can anyone give me an actual cite for this idea?

Thanks, Cristi
