Jeffery Long, "Anekānta and Ahimsä: A Jain Philosophy of Universal Acceptance." Presented at the VR Gandhi Lecture; Claremont, California. 2013. In short, deconstruction is the process by which you recognize two seemingly different and hierarchically organized concepts are actually internally related to one another. This is the realization that both the identity/ideas and their hierarchical organization are a product of mis-perception. For an easy synopsys of Derrida' concept of Deconstruction, see Deconstruction in a Nutshell, by John D. Caputo. Said by Professor J. Soni, July 6, 2013. Lecture in Delhi. It is also important to note that Jain scholars differ as widely in their beliefs about Jainism as the poststructuralists differ within their tradition. My intent is not to treat Jainism as a unified tradition, which I recognize would be fallacious and most disrespectful. However, I do hope that my crude generalizations can elicit responses from those who may disagree with me, even as their silence on these issues that has allowed the perception of the generalization they may contest. This is but an effort to start a dialogue on issues that, thus far, have remained largely if not wholly unaddressed in Jain Scholarship. ‘Name of a Dog'. Ibid. I define “politicalization" as: the making political of an act that is either not inherently political, or is not traditionally viewed as political. I believe that there is a great deal more work to be done on the connections between Levinas, Judaism, the German National Socialists, and Jainism. Everything from the misuse of the swastika, to Schopenhauer's fascination with Jainism and it's subsequent misuse by Hitler. I think a great deal of fruitful work could be done comparing to opposite traditions and the misappropriation of one by the other. Insert your criticism of Levinas. Bhagavad-Gita.
