This work concerns the history of the Japanese philosophy of art,
from its inception in the 1870s to the present. In addition to the
historical information and discussion of aesthetic issues that
appear in the introductions to each of the chapters, the book
presents English translations of otherwise inaccessible major works
on Japanese aesthetics, beginning with a complete and annotated
translation of the first work in the field, Nishi Amane's Bimygaku
Setsu (The Theory of Aesthetics). Modern Japanese Aesthetics
discusses the momentous efforts made by Japanese thinkers to
master, assimilate, and transform Western philosophical systems to
discuss their own literary and artistic heritage. Readers are
introduced to debates between the unconditional supporters of
Western ideas and more cautious approaches to the literary and
artistic past. The institutionalization of aesthetics as an
academic subject is discussed and the work of some of Japan's most
distinguished professional aestheticians and literary critics is
included.
