Through a structural analysis of the works of Said, Bhabha, and Spivak, the author argues that the postcolonial theoretical framework encounters an impasse (aporia) because it is trapped in the “politics of recognition” which paradoxically reproduces the structure of desire by positioning the West as the Lacanian The Big Other. Further- more, external critiques from the Marxist tradition (Chibber), Žižekian psychoanalysis, and Derridean deconstruction are identified as having epistemological blind spots for failing to offer a positive ground for subject sovereignty. As a dialectical synthesis, this paper proposes the thesis of Holistic Rationality—not as a technocratic instrument or a restoration of Enlightenment universalism, but as a mode of being that unites Logos (objective competence) and Ethos (ethical consciousness). To strengthen the claim of universality, this paper demonstrates conceptual convergence between Holistic Rationality and non-Western epistemological traditions (Ubuntu, Buddhist Prajna, Sufistic Ma’rifah) and elaborates on concrete transition mechanisms through critical pedagogy. Through the mastery of Holistic Rationality, the subject transcends the need for external validation, achieves the condition of Autarkeia, and definitively ends the Inlander condition. This paper contributes to the discourse of postcolonial philosophy by offering an internal critique of the explanatory limitations of existing theories and proposing an ontological alternative based on the paradigm of universal competence.</p> </div> </div> </div>
