Summary
The core of the chapter addresses the relationship between power and knowledge. In essence De Sousa Santos makes the point that knowledge has to disconnect itself from power, so that it is not a captive of it. De Sousa Santos also explores the conditions under which not only knowledge but also politics at the national and international levels could be democratized.
