History, the Human, and the World Between is a philosophical
investigation of the human subject and its simultaneous implication
in multiple and often contradictory ways of knowing. The eminent
postcolonial theorist R. Radhakrishnan argues that human
subjectivity is always constituted "between": between subjective
and objective, temporality and historicity, being and knowing, the
ethical and the political, nature and culture, the one and the
many, identity and difference, experience and system. In this major
study, he suggests that a reconstituted phenomenology has a crucial
role to play in mediating between generic modes of knowledge
production and an experiential return to life. Keenly appreciative
of poststructuralist critiques of phenomenology, Radhakrishnan
argues that there is still something profoundly vulnerable at stake
in the practice of phenomenology. Radhakrishnan develops his
rationale of the "between" through three linked essays where he
locates the terms "world," "history," "human," and "subject"
between phenomenology and poststructuralism, and in the process
sets forth a nuanced reading of the politics of a gendered
postcolonial humanism. Critically juxtaposing the works of thinkers
such as Friedrich Nietzsche, Adrienne Rich, Frantz Fanon, Edward
Said, Michel Foucault, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Martin Heidegger,
David Harvey, and Ranajit Guha, Radhakrishnan examines the
relationship between systems of thought and their worldly
situations. History, the Human, and the World Between is a powerful
argument for a theoretical perspective that combines the
existential urgency of phenomenology with the discursive rigor of
poststructuralist practices.
