This book is a rethinking of ethics and socio-political life
through the ideas of Watsuji Tetsuro. 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? This
book explores such an attempt by the leading ethicist of modern
Japan. Using concrete examples and contemporary comparisons, and
with careful reference to both English and Japanese sources, it
guides the reader through Watsuji's ideas. It engages three
contemporary issues in depth: First, how do we approach the moral
agent, as an autonomous being or as a fundamentally relational
being? Second, is it the individual or the community that is the
starting point for politics? And finally, is ethics something that
is globally shared or something fundamentally local? This book aims
to be an informative and inspiring resource for researchers,
students, and laypersons interested in Buddhist thought.
