Eurocentrism-Criticism of an Ideology

Samir Amin, one of the founders of the Dependency School, which focuses on controversial issues such as underdevelopment, development, crisis, world economic system (imperialism), center and periphery countries from a socialist perspective, has developed a critical approach against Eurocentrism, so to speak, by “stripping away” Marxism from its Eurocentric perspective. He is also a writer who stands out with his "breakthrough".

Eurocentrism is a classic work in which we can follow his radical initiative or reckoning in its most clear and profound form.

How do the values of Europe crystallized with the French Revolution and the slogan of "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity", on the one hand, culturalism, imperialist colonialism, a rudimentary universalism that ignores differences, and the tendency to become introverted, and difficult equations, on the other hand, appear in the approach developed by Samir Amin? Is it getting resolved?

How does Samir Amin, who offers "A Non-European-Centered View of the Contemporary World" as stated in the title of the last chapter of the book, base his view on history and currentness?

In the words of Fikret Başkaya:

“This work by Samir Amin contains important theses that can help us look critically at both our own history and the history of others. What we need most in the geography we live in is
It is a critical consciousness free of Eurocentrism.”
