Abstrakt: The paper argues that the problem of ‘lived experience’ in The Cracked Mirrorcannot be grasped phenomenologically but through the Derridian notion of supplement. The notion of supplement problematizes the coherence of phenomenological ego and makes it fractured and delayed. The Cracked Mirrortherefore poses the ethical problem in representing the otherness of dalit experience for theoretical purpose. Present paper would try to resolve the problem of representation in The Cracked Mirrorthrough Kant’s notion of ‘Reflective Judgment’ in Critique of Judgment.Reflective judgment overcomes the logic of recognition as against the determinative judgment and opens up the possibility of the construction of the new concepts which can articulate the dalit experiences in social sciences. In this way, the present paper will try to resolve the dialectics between the singularity of the experience and the universality of judgment.
