This book analyzes the reception of Leo Strauss and his political philosophy in Northeast Asia. By juxtaposing the central idea of Strauss's political philosophy with the question of modernity, the contributors explore the eclectic adaptations of Strauss in Northeast Asian countries as a philosophical appropriation across cultures. Examining how Strauss's philosophy was first introduced in Northeast Asia, the book sheds light on the similarities and differences in experiences, challenging the dominant approach which attributes various receptions of Strauss in Northeast Asia solely to sociopolitical circumstances. This book also seeks to move beyond a China-centric approach to investigate the possible transcultural appeals of Strauss's political philosophy by exploring the cases of Japan and South Korea. Appealing to a wide network of scholars and practitioners in East Asia engaged in rethinking cultural particularities, this volume will be attractive to upper-level undergraduate students, graduate students, and advanced researchers in political philosophy, political theory, and Asian politics.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th Asian Symposium on Programming Languages and Systems, APLAS 2015, held in Pohang, South Korea, in November/December 2015. The 24 regular papers presented together with 1 short paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 74 submissions. The papers cover a variety of foundational and practical issues in programming languages and systems and have been organized in topical sections on compilers, separation logic, static analysis and abstract interpretation, Hoare logic and types, functional programming and semantics, model checking, program analysis, medley, and programming models.

Though Mana is somewhat able to counteract the effects of the Tribal Ends' tranquilizer, victory against Kaien seems impossible in her weakened state. But Mana would rather admit defeat fighting on her own than accept the help offered by Kuro, Keita, and Arie. Will the strict laws of her clan prevent Mana from seeing all that the coexistence equilibrium encompasses - both human and mototsumitama - and the possibility of camaraderie between them? Will a newly forged bond between mototsumitama and human be what ultimately saves them all?

In the pure home of the Shishigami clan, Kuro and Keita prepare to face Reishin Shishigami and stop him before his terrible vision for the future is realized. Despite what Kuro and Keita know about the shared history of humans and the mototsumitama and the events that led to mototsumitama dominance, Reishin's plot to downsize the human population is too cruel to bear! But in the heart of the Shishigami's territory, an unexpected enemy arises to decisively correct the imbalance of the world-the ancient genuine ones themselves! With such mighty foes before them, do Keita and Kuro have the strength to change the fate of all mankind?!

In spite of weeks of training with Keita, Kuro crumbles at the reappearance of the mototsumitama Aragi. But just as Kuro is prepared to submit to death, someone calls out to her from deep within her...In the midst of her terror, Kuro feels the presence of Keita's grandfather and Kakuma, who died protecting their home in Okinawa, as well as her mother, who saved Kuro in her final hour. Their actions helped fortify Kuro in the past, but will their words give her the strength she needs to draw upon the full extent of her power and defeat her most feared enemy?

Balancing a normal existence and an unbreakable pact with a divine being is anything but easy. Much to his chagrin, Keita is discovering this the hard way. Try as he might to distance himself from recent events, Keita can't shake Kuro, the mototsumitama who saved his life. But when the stakes get higher and another human-mototsumitama pair comes looking for a fight-one with Keita's childhood friend, Akane, as the prize-Keita is forced to reevaluate his attitude and stand by both his old and new friends. Who will emerge victorious?
