Leftovers of the Trembling / Translating Philosophers: Malamoud, Derrida and the Brahmanic Leftovers (úchiṣṭa) Annatpurusha1 (Swami, 1961, p.84)
Journal Title: In Translation / في الترجمة - Year 2022, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Leftover food, sacrifice and hierarchy are some of the central themes of Kas Saghafi’s paper “The Master Trembles: Sacrifice, Hierarchy and Ontology in Derrida’s “Remain(s)” (Saghafi, 2016). My curiosity is limited to a layman’s inquisitiveness: Were Malamoud/Derrida/Kas really familiar/fair with ambiguities and complexities of Sanskrit language/linguistics, Vedic Mathematics and so on? With little knowledge of Sanskrit grammar and linguistics, Derrida's attempt in finding gaps in Sanskrit linguistics, philosophical and cultural registers like a specialist in Sanskrit is a premature attempt in deconstruction, that too when he was fully mature as a philosopher.
