Re-figurations of Universalism and Reconstitutions of the Pluriversal

polycentric, pluriversal and non-capitalist.

There was no one single civilisation that

impinged and intruded over the rest.

Consequently, there could not be any claim

to the universality of each local universal.

After 1500, the planetary order became

capitalist and monocentric. That is, one

single universal, Western Christianity,

managed to inaugurate and institute its

local universal and destituting local universals

of New World civilisations. “Universalism”

became a totalitarian totality of

knowledge.
