The aim of this paper is to define transcendental relativization, by using the binary in some anthropological works, and to give a description of it along with Niklas Luhmann’s sociology. We examine how the binary [the West/non-West] has been used in some anthropological works and how it has contributed not only to understanding ‘them’ as a research object but also to realizing ‘our’ conceptual limitations. This paper is an attempt to deal with political or power-relational asymmetry and scientific observational asymmetry in anthropological works. Luhmann’s sociology, which is based on the functional analysis and theory of social systems, shows that the binary approach in anthropology can be seen as a semantic form of science system, which realizes the existence of blind spots in anthropological observation, and is a possible strategy for anthropological investigations.

从系统理论的角度认识“西方”盲点的存在

本文的目的是通过在某些人类学著作中使用二元来定义先验相对化，并与尼古拉斯·卢曼的社会学一起对其进行描述。我们研究了二元[西方/非西方]如何在某些人类学著作中使用，以及它如何不仅有助于将“他们”理解为研究对象，而且还有助于实现“我们的”概念局限性。本文试图解决人类学工作中的政治或权力关系不对称和科学观察性不对称。卢曼的社会学基于社会系统的功能分析和理论，表明人类学中的二元方法可以看作是科学系统的一种语义形式，它实现了人类学观察中盲点的存在，
