Spiritual Deconstruction: Krishnamurti in Derrida’s Garb

ABOUT THE BOOKThis volume employs terms of deconstruction and post-structuralism as hermeneutical tools to examine striking parallels between Krishnamurti’s spiritual teachings and Derrida’s deconstruction. It draws attention to their shared praxis of decentring logocentrism subverting the binary opposites and aporetic suspension of the subject. It proposes that Krishnamurti’s radical inquiry functions as a form of spiritual deconstruction that dismantles thought and language in ways analogous to Derrida’s philosophical method. By extending deconstruction into the domain of consciousness the book raises the possibility of viewing it as not merely a critical practice but also a spiritual discipline.ABOUT THE AUTHORDr. Hiralal A. Bansod M.A. NET Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor of English with expertise in Derrida’s deconstruction and Eastern non-dual philosophies.
