Leftovers of the trembling-translating philosophers: Malamoud, Derrida and the Brahmanic leftovers (úchiṣṭa)‎

الملخص EN

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 “re-main (s)” (Saghafi, 2016).

my curiosity is limited to a layman’s inquisitiveness: were Malamoud / Derrida / Kas really familiar / fair with ambiguities and complexities of san-skrit language / linguistics, Vedic mathematics and so on? with little knowledge of Sanskrit grammar and linguistics, Derrida's attempt in finding gaps in Sanskrit linguis-tics, philosophical and cultural registers like a specialist in Sanskrit is a premature at-tempt in deconstruction, that too when he was fully mature as a philosopher.
