The Identity of Literature: A Reply to Jacques Derrida by Rajnath

Abstract

The present book deals with the question whether experience that is born into the artistic formation is complete, total and perfect or not. The nature of world in which we live is realized practically in the possibilities created through the effect of such nature, and while one proceeds to realize the possibility, one comes to the understanding of the fact that it is nearly impossible to bring about any worthy realization, thus it falls upon anticipations, presuppositions so as to create finality in speculations. The identity of literature to the extent to which we can understand the term is, therefore, the nature of truth and nature of reality embodied upon urgency of speculation and the origins of literature could be traced into these idealized speculations. The worthwhileness of literary experience could be understood from the fact that, in the world of appearance complete transformation of object into subject cannot be conceived yet it can be nearly accepted as a challenge. It must be understood that the reason that produces modification of real into apparent, absolute into divisible and totality into incompleteness is, also, at the same time; an ideal that governs the expression of various contingent convictions. In the one, we have the surest and truest inhabitance of philosophy and, in the other, we find, of necessity, literature to be composed and conceived. Now, it must be left to the utter fascination to settle down the question as to why literature differs from philosophy, and, philosophy primarily divested of literary inclinations.
