Literature Carries Philosophy’s Open Secret
This paper attempts a close reading of Derrida’s texts, particularly with a focus on his brief but significant reading of Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet in “Aphorism Countertime” (originally published in French in 1986). We compare this short work with his more sustained engagement with the philosophy of death in Aporias (1993), which itself is an attempted critique of Heidegger’s Being and Time (1927); the latter is, arguably, the…
The Twilight of Equality and the Birth of Fraternity
A Commentary on Ambedkar's Posthumously Published "Philosophy of Hinduism" - Part II
This paper continues the commentary on Dr. B. R. Ambedkar’s posthumously published Philosophy of Hinduism. Utilizing resources from various modern continental European philosophers and social theorists, particularly of religion, we elaborate on several key passages within Ambedkar’s overall framework of analysis. The paper continues to explore how Ambedkar conceives relations between philosophy and religion, and how historical shifts in general h…
Commentary on Ambedkar's Posthumously Published "Philosophy of Hinduism"- Part III
This article forms part III of a running commentary on Ambedkar’s posthumously published “Philosophy of History” (Ambedkar, 2014a). We attempt to follow Ambedkar’s reflections on the early origins of religion and his initial distinctions of the religions of “savage society” and “civilized society” (Ambedkar, 2014a, p. 9). Using the tools of philosophical critique, we see his attempt to dissect the real “principal” (Ambedkar, 2014a, p. 10) of reli…
Commentary on Ambedkar’s Posthumously Published “Philosophy of Hinduism”
This paper offers a critical commentary of Ambedkar's posthumously published "The Philosophy of Hinduism," which was discovered shortly after his death. Given previous, considerable contributions in the fields of law, economics, political and social theory, the work appears to be the beginnings of what remains an incomplete treatise on a new area of investigation for Ambedkar. In this work, Ambedkar tackles the murky and opaque sub-field of philo…
The Empire of Disgust
Verma breaks new ground for several reasons.For one, the rise of right-wing, authoritarian, majoritarian politics in Western and Eastern 'secular, constitutional, legal', democracies necessitates sensitive, nuanced multidisciplinary and multidimensional approaches in comparative studies.Understanding one social and national context could be helpful in illuminating unseen gaps or blind spots in another system.As the volume states from the outset a…
Negotiated Sharing of Pandemic Data, Models, and Resources
Urgent responses to the COVID-19 pandemic depend on increased collaboration and sharing of data, models, and resources among scientists and researchers. In many scientific fields and disciplines, institutional norms treat data, models, and resources as proprietary, emphasizing competition among scientists and researchers locally and internationally. Concurrently, long-standing norms of open data and collaboration exist in some scientific fields a…
