摘要:One of the most common questions that have been asked from the ranks of postcolonial theorists has to do with the uses and limits of Western theoretical apparatuses when the object of study is a non-Occidental society. In this paper, Miranda Brown asks herself said question and complicates it with the analysis of the ideas of a non-Western intellectual from the seventeenth century. Upon careful reading of Brown’s contribution, there are several questions that one can ask in turn, which is precisely what I am going to do for the rest of this paper.
