Abstract | -structuralist and post-colonial theory through a reading of T.S. Eliot’s poetry and criticism. The reading of Eliot will draw upon the Buddhist and Hegelian description of metaphysics and establish the possibility of “universal metaphysics.” Within this universal understanding of metaphysics “theory” will be critiqued. The thesis argues that theory (post-structuralist and post-colonial in particular) posits divisions that in actuality do not exist. As a result theory fails to grasp the immanence in the ephemeral, patterns in chaos. The thesis argues that the post-structuralist metaphysics (its critique of the “Sovereign Subject” and “Self-Presence”) is in the service of the metaphysical logic of capitalism, and urges a return to “universality.” |
