ABSTRACT
Our contemporary moment is a moment of crises of epistemology as part of the wider and deeper crises of modernity and the human condition. The crises of epistemology emerges from the limits of the epistemic as it is tied to epistemology of procedural certainty and closure. The crises of epistemology also reflects the limits of epistemology closed within the Euro-American universe of discourse. This creates illness and suffering and this chapter discusses how we can ways of knowing which can heal the pathology of one-sided epistemology including Eurocentric epistemology. As part of this, the chapter discusses the work of Boaventura de Sousa Santos’ Epistemologies of the South: Justice Against Epistemicide.
