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.

An unflinching look at the darker side of Western thought, arguing for an acceptance of responsibility as opposed to an apportionment of blame.Calls for a decolonization of thought and the sciences have become increasingly urgent in recent years and have now reached European universities. Decolonizing Philosophy attempts to clarify why philosophy must also undergo a process of decolonization and what such a process means for research and teaching in philosophy. A central point in this process is the reappraisal of the long-denied entanglements of European philosophy in European expansion and colonialism. Within this context, the book addresses questions about the emergence of scientifically based race theories in philosophy and the Eurocentric historical constructions of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It also presents research approaches for overcoming a Eurocentric philosophy and raises the question of how ethical and epistemic responsibility can be assumed in the process of decolonizing thought.

An invitation to rethink our place in the world from the perspective of nomads.Sedentary-state civilizations have historically degraded nomadic people as primitive or barbaric and sought to "civilize" them; however, the nomads have resisted this and tried to maintain their way of life. What is the underlying thought behind this resistance? What does it mean to be human according to the nomads? What might be the metanarrative of humanity from a nomadic perspective? Nomadic Thinking, seeking answers to these interrelated questions, consists of an effort to explain the nomadic conception of humanity within the language of Western philosophy. It uncovers the nomadic way of thinking by examining both the social lives and cultural narratives of nomads themselves. As author Buket Korkut-Raptis makes clear, nomadic thought offers a much-needed ethical perspective necessary to overcome exploitative human relations and to modify our relationship with nature. It revives our trust in humanity and gives us hope that we can be creative in finding new forms of social life, better than what we are confined to in our civilized world.
