The introduction explains the hypothesis of the study. The hypothesis of this study stems from three specific questions: (1) Do the Continental philosophies of the "transcendent Other" attend to the agonistic politics of the "other others' in the "Third World"? (2) How do the Spivakian notions of "detranscendentalized sacred" and the 'subordinated other" (subaltern) initiate a "postcolonial turn" in the Continental philosophies of God and the other and how does Spivak address the question of the postcoloniality of subaltern bodies? (3) What would be a Dalit theology of God and body in this post-Continental context of "turning towards the political and the plane of immanence"?
