About the author
Kuki Shūzō
33 books5 followersShūzō Kuki (九鬼 周造 Kuki Shūzō) was a prominent Japanese academic, philosopher and university professor.
He was the fourth child of Baron Kuki Ryūichi (九鬼 隆) a high bureaucrat in the Meiji Ministry for Culture and Education (Monbushō). At age 23 in 1911 (Meiji 44), Kuki converted to Catholicism; and he was baptized in Tokyo as Franciscus Assisiensis Kuki Shūzō. The idealism and introspection implied by this decision were early evidence of issues which would have resonance in the characteristic mindset of the mature man.
A graduate in philosophy of Tokyo Imperial University, Kuki spent eight years in Europe to polish his knowledge of languages and deepen his already significant studies of contemporary Western thought. At the University of Heidelberg, he studied under the neo-Kantian Heinrich Rickert, and he engaged Eugen Herrigel as a tutor. At the University of Paris, he was impressed by the work of Henri Bergson, whom he came to know personally; and he engaged the young Jean-Paul Sartre as a French tutor. It is little known outside Japan that it has been claimed that Kuki influenced Sartre to develop an interest in Husserl and his student Heidegger's philosophical approach. Sartre's actual engagement with Husserl's phenomenology however began several years later, dating to a remark by Raymond Aron in a coffee shop discussion in 1932.
