The idea of a universal dialectic is related to the Taoist concept of taiji or "supreme ultimate". European dialecticians (Hegel especially) explored themes that some see as remarkably similar.
Accordingly, the term "universal dialectic" can be seen as part of an attempt to Westernize the concept of Taiji in regard to the fundamental role and nature of complementary opposites in the ongoing process of creation. It associates this traditionally Eastern view with the concept of dialectic advocated by Socrates, Hegel, and Marx.
Proponents of the universal dialectic concept maintain that the discovery of shared metaphysical ground may be of benefit to students of both Eastern and Western philosophy.

Dialecticalmonism is an ontological position which holds that reality is ultimately a unified whole, distinguishing itself from monism by asserting that this whole necessarily expresses itself in dualistic terms.
For the dialectical monist, the essential unity is that of complementary polarities which, while opposed in the realm of experience and perception, are co-substantial in a transcendent sense.
To establish its premises, dialecticalmonism posits a UniversalDialectic, which is seen as the fundamental principle of existence.
