Description
Political Philosophy in Japan focuses on the politics of Japan's pre-eminent philosophical school - the Kyoto School - and particularly that of its founder, Nishida Kitarô (1870-1945).
Existing literature on Nishida is dismissive of there being serious political content in his work, and of the political stance of the wider school.
Goto-Jones contends that, far from being apolitical, Nishida's philosophy was explicitly and intentionally political, and that a proper political reading of Nishida sheds new light on the controversies surrounding the alleged complicity of the Kyoto School in Japanese ultra-nationalism.
This book offers a unique and potentially controversial view of the subject of Nishida and the Kyoto School.
