Summary
This epilogue reflects on the totality of argument of the different chapters of the book, and the common threads uniting them. The epilogue begins by considering what the main epistemic problem of colonialism, heterology, and different ways anticolonial thinkers have attempted to think through this through rethinking premodern thought, Marxism and colonial juridicality. The epilogue also considers questions arising from the colonial presents and concludes by considering how epistemic colonialism may continue to be undone.
