Kyoto School Philosophy in Comparative Perspective: Ideology,
Ontology, Modernity presents the thought of the Kyoto School, the
most famous Japanese philosophical movement of the twentieth
century, by comparing the philosophy of its most representative
members-Nishida and Nishitani-with some better known thinkers in
the West: Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Paul Ricoeur, and
Michel Henry. Bernard Stevens highlights the proximity of this
movement of thought to the European phenomenological current that
influenced it. However, the book also addresses an eminently
problematic reality: the affiliation of some of its members with
the militarism of the 1930s and 1940s. The political philosophers
Arendt and Maruyama provide useful guidance here, in clarifying one
of the central issues of this episode: the ideology of "overcoming
modernity", supported by some of the younger disciples of Nishida.
This book proposes intellectual conditions for both critical and
appreciative receptions of one of the most fascinating
philosophical adventures of the twentieth century.
