概要

This course provides an introduction to key figures and ideas in Japanese philosophy. Among these figures are Dōgen, renowned as the originator of Soto Zen, who introduced the notion of "being-time"; Nishida Kitarō, the progenitor of the Kyoto School, who expounded upon the concept of "pure experience"; along with two disciples of Nishida, Watsuji Tetsurō, who introduced the idea of "betweenness", and Kuki Shūzō, who articulated the notion of "detachment". Additionally, the course acquaints students with other prominent figures in Japanese philosophy, spanning from established members of the Japanese philosophical canon to emerging thinkers gaining prominence both domestically and internationally. A word of warning: this is not an exegetical course but rather a course where we will focuss on thinking about the ideas, rather than who said what when.

目標

Students will become familiar with some important schools, figures, and concepts in Japanese philosophy and be able to make connections between Japanese and Western philosophical concepts.
