This text provides coverage of the history of the Japanese
philosophy of art, from its inception in the 1870s to modern day.
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 ""Bimyogaku Setsu"" (""The Theory of Aesthetics"").
The text is divided into four sections: the subject of aesthetics;
aesthetic categories; poetic expression; postmodernism; and
aesthetics. It examines the momentous efforts made by Japanese
thinkers to master, assimilate and originally transform Western
philosophical systems to discuss their own literary and artistic
heritage.
This work concerns the history of the Japanese philosophy of art,

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.
