Boaventura de Sousa Santos. The End of the Cognitive Empire: The Coming of Age of Epistemologies of the South.
- Authors
Weber, Ralph
- Abstract
I The End of the Cognitive Empire i will not disappoint those who support Santos' project of the epistemologies of the South. The epistemologies of the South, Santos underlines, "do not, as a matter of principle, reject any form of knowledge" (45). Santos highlights that "the epistemologies of the South operate by polarizing the contrast between oppressors and oppressed, and depolarizing the differences between the oppressed" (252).
