Brazilian Comparative Law fails to offer national jurists critical theoretical tools capable of dialoguing with the social, cultural, and historical particularities of Brazil. In parallel, decolonial theory has been presented as a new and crucial theoretical key capable of offering essential advances in comparative law not only in its theory but also in its practical activity. The present investigation is inserted in this context. It aims to answer whether decolonial comparative law can offer the epistemological stances and the appropriate methodology to fill this gap in the theory of Brazilian Comparative Law. In this sense, this investigation has two moments. The first investigates the so-called epistemic bovarism of national comparative legal studies. The second part analytically presents the contributions of Decolonial Comparative Law and how these same contributions can be decisive for advancing the field in the country.

Keywords: Theory of comparative Law; Comparative law; Decolonial Theory; Decolonial Comparative Law.
