La filosofía japonesa en su historia

Rate this book
Magistralmente concebida con fines formativos y como un complemento perfecto a La filosofía japonesa en sus textos, esta obra es una culminación brillante de la trayectoria académica del autor, destinada a quien desee comprender la filosofía japonesa involucrándose en ella. Esta obra nos invita, por un lado, a familiarizarnos con varios periodos históricos y tradiciones del pensamiento japonés y, por otro, a conocer en profundidad y dialogar con siete grandes filósofos: K?kai, Shinran, D?gen, Sorai, Norinaga, Nishida y Watsuji. Su mérito no reside solo en presentar cronológicamente una serie de pensadores japoneses y sus obras, conceptos y teorías, o describir el contexto histórico, social y cultural en que se inscriben. Lo que convierte en excepcional y fascinante el recorrido que propone su autor es que, además de exponer distintas ideas, sus condicionamientos e impacto, interpela al lector a filosofar junto a los pensadores que las formularon, valorar sus argumentos y cuestionar sus propios posicionamientos.

You don’t have to be a student of philosophy to learn from and enjoy this book. Anyone who is interested in Japan, history, or Buddhism should read this. A bit dense at times, it was still written to be accessible for people from all eduction backgrounds. It covered seven main Japanese philosophers through the history of the country, along with covering general philosophies of various times periods, going into the history of the period, as well. I learned a lot from this book, both about Japan, and philosophy as a whole. It was, well, an engaging read.
