This chapter offers a brief reflection on the overall problem of colonial-secularist method and theory in the study of religion discussed in previous chapters. In conversation with Tomoko Masuzawa, it discusses the liberal illusion of progress that presupposes a complete severance of the present from the theories of the past tainted with colonial/imperial history. Likewise, the decolonial thinkers examined in the book do not offer an ultimate solution to the problem of coloniality-secularity., but a different origin, genealogy and modality of thought and imagination.
