This book is a rethinking of ethics and socio-political life through the ideas of Watsuji Tetsurô. Can we build a systematic philosophy of morality, society, and politics, not on the basis of identity and ego, but rather on the basis of selflessness?

Recensioner i media

“Watsuji Tetsurō’s Global Ethics of Emptiness, offers a lucidly written, and welcome addition, to the growing literature on Watsuji Tetsurō. The content of Sevilla’s book is applicable and beneficial to all levels, from Watsuji scholars, to those who lack any prior knowledge.” (Kyle Michael James Shuttleworth, European Journal of Japanese Philosophy, Vol. 3, 2018)
