This article has been inspired by Dussel’s critique of Cartesian philosophy and by his world- historical work on the conquest of the Americas in the long 16th century 2. His work embraces many fields of scholarship such as Political-Economy, World-History, and Philosophy, among others. He has not only decontructed dominant knowledge structures but also constructed a body of work in Ethics, Political Philosophy and Political Economy that has been internationally very influential. His titanic effort has been dedicated to demolish the philosophical foundations and world-historical narratives of Eurocentrism. The work of Enrique Dussel, liberation theologian and liberation philosopher, is fundamental for anybody interested in the decolonization of knowledge and power.
