About this book
Explores Jacques Derrida’s thoughts on what it means to ‘remain’
- Draws an analogy between Western thought and Indian “religion”
- Argues for significance of the terms “remains” and “remainder” for deconstruction
- Charts their use in Derrida’s work
In a very late essay, “Remain(s)—The Master, or the Supplement of Infinity,” authored just two years before his death, Derrida conjoins two registers or fields of research, bringing together his early and his late work. In this complex and illuminating work, an analogy is drawn between two vastly different “cultures”—the Greco-European Onto-theo-phenomenology and the Vedic Brahmanic of India. Commenting on the work of eminent Indianist scholar Charles Malamoud, Derrida argues for the significance of the notion 0f the remainder (reste) as a key word in his deconstructive vocabulary. This volume is devoted to elucidating Derrida’s enigmatic essay and providing much-needed context.
