One of the most important introductions to Japanese philosophy, translated from the original Japanese. The History of Modern Japanese Philosophy attempts to describe the entire history of philosophy in Japan from its introduction in the Meiji period to the present day. It offers philosophers and students in English-speaking countries who are interested in Asian and Japanese philosophy and the philosophy of the Kyoto school the foundational knowledge to understand them. Author Masakatsu Fujita focuses on clarifying how Japanese philosophers have dealt with philosophical problems and developed unique thoughts, drawing not only on Western philosophy but also Eastern thought. They stood within the interstice between East and West to open a new prospect on the world of philosophy. With the help of this book a new dialogue of ideas will emerge that will in turn engender new developments in philosophy and thereby further expand the network of philosophical thinking worldwide.
