Universalism, in the service of the most dubious causes, may have appeared as an instrument in the service of Western domination. But this is not all: we will distinguish between the claim to embody the universal and the idea that there is a universality we cannot renounce. To support this hypothesis, we will turn to anthropology and defend the thesis that the universal is an epistemic category, required by the nature of the human.
