Abstract
This chapter is an output of a major conference that took place at the prestigious Philosophy Department of the University of Pennsylvania, dedicated to the decolonisation of Critical Theory in general. In particular, it addresses the significant contribution of Enrique Dussel's lifelong dialogue with Frankfurt School theoreticians such as Karl Otto Apel in relation to legal theory, political philosophy and aesthetics. It is argued that Dussel’s presentation of the trial of the scales not only points towards a decolonization of the image and the gaze from the bounds of language and interpretation. Also, Dussel’s presentation sets in motion a shift towards examining the normative importance of images and visualization. That is, in the sense of an act of memory- and dream-work or awakening into history that emphasises difference and normative orientation.
