Book excerpt: The development of phenomenological philosophy in Japan is a well-established tradition that reaches back to the early 20th-century. The past decades have witnessed significant contributions and advances in different areas of phenomenological thought in Japan that remain unknown, or only partially known, to an international philosophical public. This volume offers a selection of original phenomenological research in Japan to an international audience in the form of an English language publication. The contributions in this volume range over classical figures in the phenomenological movement (Husserl, Heidegger, Levinas, Merleau-Monty), recent trends in French phenomenology, and contemporary inter-disciplinary approaches. In addition to this diverse engagement with European thinkers, many of the contributions in this volume establish critical and complimentary discussions with 20th-century Japanese philosophers.

Book Synopsis Phenomenology in Japan by : A.J. Steinbock

Download or read book Phenomenology in Japan written by A.J. Steinbock. This book was released on 2013-03-14. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the introduction of phenomenology to Japan in the 1910's, Japan has steadily become a major international site for both original and scholarly phenomenological work. Phenomenology in Japan presents several of Japan's leading phenomenologists, studied in both the Buddhist and Western thought, who bring to bear their unique backgrounds on our rich fields of experience. These contributions converge in novel ways on the problem of `dualist', and draw on resources within the phenomenological tradition to respond to its challenges.

Book Synopsis Tetsugaku Companion to Phenomenology and Japanese Philosophy by : Shigeru TAGUCHI

Download or read book Tetsugaku Companion to Phenomenology and Japanese Philosophy written by Shigeru TAGUCHI. This book was released on 2020-01-29. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume addresses the impact of the introduction of phenomenology in Japan and its interaction with Japanese philosophy. It is well known that phenomenology was introduced at a very early stage in Japan. Furthermore, phenomenology still constitutes one of the main currents of thought in Japan. However, the specific way in which phenomenology has interacted with the indigenous Japanese tradition of thought and Japanese culture has until now not been addressed in great detail. This volume fills that gap. It discusses in detail the encounter and the interaction between Japanese thought and phenomenological reflection, with special regards to the topics of awareness and the self, the experience of otherness, ethics, and metaphysical issues. The book shows how phenomenology has served, and still serves, Japan to re-comprehend its “own” tradition and its specific form(s) of culture. At the same time, it offers an example of how different cultures and traditions can be both preserved and developed in their reciprocal action. More in general, it advances the philosophical debate beyond cultural enclosures and beyond mere scholasticism. The phenomenological tradition has always been open to new and alien ideas. An encounter with Japanese philosophy can offer a new challenge to actual phenomenological thinking.

Book Synopsis From Zen to Phenomenology by : Algis Mickunas

Download or read book From Zen to Phenomenology written by Algis Mickunas. This book was released on 2018. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The encounter between Japan and the West posed a question as to whether there can be any mutual understanding between such seemingly different civilizations. Japanese intellectuals came to Europe to study Western thinking and found that the prevalent positivism and pragmatism were inadequate, and turned to phenomenology as a way of dealing with awareness, unavailable in other Western philosophical trends. Japanese opened a "dialogue" with such thinkers as Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger; this text is an explication of this "dialogue"..From Zen to Phenomenology opens the essential dimensions of transcendental phenomenology and the way of Zen in order to disclose the conjunction between these two "schools" of awareness. The research offered in the text traces the origins of Zen to the Buddhist Nagarjuna, presenting his arguments that all explanatory claims of awareness are "empty". In Zen, the phenomenon of emptiness is a "place holder" depicted as basho where anything can appear without obstructions. The task, in the text, is to show how such a "place" can be reached by excluding claims by some Japanese and Western scholars as to the "aims" of Zen. The introduction of "aims" is equally an obstruction and must be avoided, just as an attachment to a specific Zen "school" is to be discarded.Phenomenological analyses of time awareness show the presence of a domain which is composed of flux and permanence such that both aspects are given as empty "place holders" for any possible reality of any culture. The awareness of these aspects is neither one nor the other, and hence can appear through both as "primal" symbols fluctuating one through the other. If we say that everything changes, we encounter the permanence of this claim, and if we say that everything is permanent, we encounter an effort to maintain such permanence - both disclosing a "movement" between them, comprising a "place" for any understanding of a world explicated in any culture. This is the domain where Zen and transcendental phenomenology find their "groundless ground". (Nova)
