Abstract
An introductory prologue to the anthology Decolonising Political Concepts, this piece argues that the decolonial turn was not intended as a sociological type but as a combative intervention to explode the framework within which the political and social sciences as well as the humanist arts of law, visuality, and literature have been practiced since at least early modern times. It brings forward the creolised and critical kind of humanist republicanism that emerged from the "encounter" between Christian Europeans and so-called Amerindians resisting ideas of pre-set destination or progress from within bio-cultural philosophical, non-dogmatic, arts of non-mastery.
