Description
Peter speaks to the Japanese philosopher Takeshi Morisato about the 20th-century Kyoto School intellectual named Tanabe Hajime, whose philosophical method assimilated traditional elements of Japanese Buddhism with the perspectives of Western existentialism and Judeo-Christian theology during a period of enormous social upheaval in the history of modern Japan. Takeshi Morisato is a lecturer in Non-Western Philosophy at the University of Edinburgh. He is also the current editor of the European Journal of Japanese Philosophy and the assistant editor of the Journal of East Asian Philosophy. In 2021 he published a short introduction to the thought of Tanabe Hajime titled Tanabe Hajime and the Kyoto School: Self, World and Knowledge via Bloomsbury.
