The Psychomachia of Caste and Psychoanalysis in India
Psychoanalytic theory has been invoked to study gender, race, and colonialism, especially Indian postcoloniality, and its claims to cross-cultural relevance have also been interrogated in Indian scholarship from these perspectives. Given that caste determines nearly all aspects of life of both the upper and lower castes in India, a discussion of caste through psychoanalysis and vice-versa is conspicuous by its absence. This is consistent with the…
De-canonising Theory, Junūn-ising Canon
Decolonising the Theory Canon
Nancy, qui a ouvert la piste
Guest Editor’s Introduction
The descent-based system of oppression called caste has been disturbingly absent from the broad multidisciplinary project of critical philosophy of race. At least two connections with caste should have been essential to examinations by the project: the genealogies and concepts of nature and man that produced racisms and those who exposed and would combat them. First, caste had held extraordinary significance for both race theorists like Nietzsche…
The Evasive Racism of Caste—and the Homological Power of the “Aryan” Doctrine
In the fight against racism, philosophy has to interrogate caste in its own histories and current decolonial consensus. Caste has been evading its interrogation as the oldest race theory and racist practice, which continue to oppress the lower-caste peoples who constitute the majority population of the Indian subcontinent. Caste and race are species of the hypophysics of man, which consecrates scaled intrinsic value in human nature through the no…
The Commencement of Jean-Luc Nancy
Jean-Luc Nancy was concerned with commencement at several levels, of several kinds, in several senses, because he could speak of commencement with affirmation, which means with audacity. From the hospital in July 2021 he completed his last essay, which was intended to commence the project of “the other beginning of philosophy” envisaged by him, Shaj Mohan, and Divya Dwivedi, and he titled it “The End of Philosophy and the Task of Thinking.” In an…
The Transitivity of “We” and Narrative Legions
Terming the “we” as narrative legions, the following exploration establishes that “we” as a speaker is the missing subject of enunciation with a unique relation between its symbolicity and iconicity. That gives this shifter distinct powers as compared to “I” and “you”. The theory of narrative legions explains how “we” acquires diverse functions as the product of the literary work according to polynomia, that is, multiple laws of discourse which a…
May 1968 and Other Dates in the Memories of Imagination
‘The 1968 years’ draw into memory the thoughts and images of other dates, protests, and political formations worldwide. The Naxalite movement of India was as different from the French May as was the Prague Spring from the Hungarian Uprising. Yet each gathered currents of ideas, energies, tactics – in brief, memories – from others and then released them into the world again. These are ‘dates without places’ which became possible after the Second W…

Ce que l'hindouisme recouvre
L'image de l'Inde indépendante associée à l'autorité de Gandhi cache l'oppression millénaire des castes inférieures, assurée au XX e siècle par l'invention de l'hindouisme
Gandhi and Philosophy
Gandhi and Philosophy: On Theological Anti-Politics is the first in-depth philosophical study of Gandhi. Placing his writings and practices within a unique system of their own, it examines the modern political and scientific elements in Gandhi's thought and discusses his impact on 20th-century philosophy. Marking a major break with many of the current readings of Gandhi's thought, this book removes him from the postcolonial and Hindu nationalist …
