Abstract

The text introduces decolonial debates in philosophy. In the first step, the historical horizon of decolonial debates is described, which is found in the European expansion. Following this, the positions of Kwasi Wiredu, Walter Mignolo and Nikita Dhawan are briefly introduced. The last step is to ask how a decolonization of the arts and aesthetics is possible. It is proposed to first analyze the historiographies on the arts and aesthetics in decolonial perspective in order to prepare new images of these histories for the future.
