Abstract
Eurocentrism refers to both a system of values and a space-time mindset. Modern space-time ideology and geographical knowledge are characterized by objectivity and neutrality, which is usually ignored by postcolonial criticism. However, the divisions of continents and the boundary between the west and the east tend to betray subjectiveness and randomness, which sheds light on the interests of culture and geopolitics. The deconstruction of Eurocentrism does not necessarily imply a replacement, but an alternative mindset.
