English commentary: Study of Letter 17 to Peter Balling in "addressing "the specifically postcolonial juncture that Spinoza's dream and the letter marks(!). Spinoza's dream figures the philospher's awakening to the precarious status of the costcolonial subject position as recognition of the constitutive significance of the postcolonial constellation for the formation of modern awareness." (p. 39).
