In order for the analysis to be sound, compelling and pointed, it is important to understand the philosophical basis and the container in which the analysis is carried out. One of the techniques that postcolonial discourse uses is deconstruction. Deconstruction essentially means the examination of the sociological-political-historical-economic contexts in which a given reality or "truth" arises and which over time becomes eternal, timeless and context-independent. Although there are many philosophers who have used the technique of deconstruction for various accounts, this course will introduce the philosophical foundations of deconstruction through the writings of Nietzsche and Foucault. There was a decisive influence of Foucault on Said's Orientalism, and Foucault was widely influenced by Nietzsche. This philosophical container will provide students with a broad base for deconstructing European writings on India and Hinduism.
