Upon a thorough examination of Edward Said's work, it becomes evident that these accusations lack a solid foundation. Furthermore, Puett's interpretation of ancient Chinese texts as illustrating »fractured experience« may itself exhibit neo-Orientalist features. This perspective gains support through the lens of Gayatri Spivak's concept of »epistemic violence« and Edgardo Lander's exploration of the »coloniality of knowledge.« By way of conclusion, the paper proposes that Boaventura de Sousa Santos' ideas may offer a way to escape the Orientalist paradigm and acknowledge non-Western, particularly early Chinese, forms of knowledge and experience. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Polylog is the property of Wiener Gesellschaft fur interkulturelle Philosophie and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
