A Climate: a Philosophical Study A CLIMATE A Philosophical Study by WATSUJI TETSURO translated by GEOFFREY BOWNAS Lecturer, Oxford University Published by PRINTINGBUREAU, JAPANESE GOVERNMENT A CLIMATE A Philosophical Study by WATSUJI TETSURO translated by GEOFFREY BOWNAS Lecturer, Oxford University Published by PRINTINGBUREAU, JAPANESE GOVERNMENT Unesco, at the 9th session of its General Conference held in New Delhi in 1956, decided to launch the Major Project on the Mutual Appreciation of Eastern and Western Cultural Values. In accordance with this decision this Commission has been carrying on since 1958, within the framework of the project, a programme of publishing modern Japanese philosophical works into foreign languages. In 1959, we put out an English translation of "The Ways of Thinking of Eastern Peoples" by Nakamura Hajime; and in 1960 "A Study of Good" by Nishida Kitaro. The present 7101- ume, "A Climate" by Watsuji Tetsuro, is the third of the series and is to be followed in 1962 by an English version of "Time and Eternity" by Hatano Seiichi. Watsuji Tetsuro, one of the foremost scholars in the field of ethics in Japan, attempted in his present book to expound his views in concrete and easy terms on "the function of climate as a factor within the structure of human existence", which represents an aspect of his profound thought. It is our sincere wish that this programme will prove to be a contribution to the development of mutual understanding among the peoples of the world, as well as a closer cultural link between the East and West.

Japanese National Commission for Unesco Translator's Preface It was on my third day in Japan-on Culture Day, 1952, in fact-that I first heard the name of Professor Watsuji. A goodly gathering of Japanese Orientalists was celebrating the end of a Cul- ture Day Conference in Kyoto and, across the table, there floated this name, coupled with the question, "Have you ever read any of his works?" The questioner was Professor Kaizuka, the great Japa- nese historian of ancient China, my teacher and sponsor in Japan. Since that evening, I have often linked these two names in my memories of Japan. Those who knew Professor Watsuji may well regard this association as a little forced and if they do I cannot but bow to their judgement, for it will be my eternal and sad regret that, from the time when I was commissioned by the Japanese National Commission for UNESCO, early in 1960, to translate Fudo, its author never recovered sufficiently from his long ailment to be able to see or talk to me. It is natural, I suppose, that a translator should build some image, however indistinct, of the author he translates: because of this early episode that connected the two, and because of what I regard as a similar breadth of outlook, a similar sympathetic and gentle humanity and a similar incisiveness of thought, I came to construct my image of the unknown in part from my memories of the known. Professor Watsuji's sharp eye and broad understanding class him among the rarest and most precious of travellers. Again and again, as I worked on my translation and read his accounts of the sights and sounds of Europe often so familiar to me, did I notice something new or come to understand more fully some puzzling aspect of the Japan I saw about me.

Cllmate and Culture, December, 1961. I would argue, would be valuable if read merely as a general guide to Japan and her culture and would well repay reading by all intel- ligent would-be visitors. For one of Professor Watsuji's unique qualities was his deep affection for and sympathetic comprehension of his own Japan, both of which grew w~thhis ever-widening erudi- tion. I feel that perhaps I woultl not lack supporters if I were to argue that so many of the Japanese I have met,-particularly those of the generations that follow Watsuji's-while they may know just ahorit all there is to be known about their own particular interest in the M:est, in process of acquiring this alien knowledge have yet grown quite out of touch with their own culture. SVatsuji's roots, ant1 those of scholnrs like him, are all the stronger for the nourish- ment they gain from a familiar soil. There are a great many whose assistance I must acknowledge. .The staff of the Japanese National Commission for UNESCO were a joy to work with and, from Mr. Muto and Mr. Yamashitla down, never regarded any request as too burdensome or trivial; Professor Furukawa of Tokyo University was always ready to spare time and hclp in the interpretation of some of the more obscure problems. I remember particularly how we met on the morning after the worst of the student riots in June, 1960, (the girl who died was a member) of his department) and wondered how Watsuji would interpret what iii self smiilng as I recall the room in which most of this translation we had seen the night before.

Poetry and other creative efforts should be levers, weapons to be used in the people's struggle for understanding, human rights, and decency. "Art for Art's Sake" is a misnomer. The poet can never be neutral. In a hungry world the struggle between oppressor and oppressed is unending. There is the inevitable question: "Which side are you on?" To be content with as they are, to be "neutral," is to take sides with the oppressor who also wants to keep the status quo.

  • LRTA Response to Dft Call on Light Rail
    Campaigning for Trams and Light Rail Light Rail Transit Association 138 Radnor Avenue, Welling, DA16 2BY 19th May 2019 Dear Sir The Light Rail Transit Association (LRTA) was established in 1937 by a group of people concerned about the proposed closures of tramways in London. The Association has grown over the intervening 82 years into an international body with over 2,000 members around the world, half outside the United Kingdom. Although the LRTA’s members come from all walks of life, they share a common concern with the development of good quality public transport through the use of light rail and tramways. Many are professionals working in the transport industries. The Association’s monthly magazine, “Tramways & Urban Transit” is widely regarded as essential reading around the world by those concerned with the development, building, operation and use of light rail and tramway systems. The Association’s objectives are to educate people about light rail and modern tramways and to advocate the adoption of such systems as core components of modern integrated transport systems. The Association carries out its campaigning under the banner TramForward. The Light Rail Transit Association would like to respond to your consultation questions as follows: Q1 What is the potential scale of the opportunity for further light rail (or other rapid transit) systems to be introduced in England? Potentially there are considerable opportunities for further light rail and tram systems where major towns and cities are suffering from congestion and traffic generated pollution. Any urban area with a population over or approaching 80,000 is likely to benefit from some form of rail-based rapid transit.

  • Sounding Paiwan: Institutionalization and Heritage-Making of Paiwan Lalingedan and Pakulalu Flutes in Contemporary Taiwan
    Ethnomusicology Review 22(2) Sounding Paiwan: Institutionalization and Heritage-Making of Paiwan Lalingedan and Pakulalu Flutes in Contemporary Taiwan Chia-Hao Hsu Lalingedan ni vuvu namaya tua qaun Lalingedan ni vuvu namaya tua luseq…… Lalingedan sini pu’eljan nu talimuzav a’uvarun Lalingedan nulemangeda’en mapaqenetje tua saluveljengen The ancestor’s nose flute is like weeping. The ancestor’s nose flute is like tears... When I am depressed, the sound of the nose flute becomes a sign of sorrow. When I hear the sound of the nose flute, I always have my lover in mind. —Sauniaw Tjuveljevelj, from the song “Lalingedan ni vuvu,” in the album Nasi1 In 2011, the Taiwanese government’s Council for Cultural Affairs declared Indigenous Paiwan lalingedan (nose flutes) and pakulalu (mouth flutes) to be National Important Traditional Arts. 2 Sauniaw Tjuveljevelj, a designated preserver of Paiwan nose and mouth flutes at the county level, released her first album Nasi in 2007, which included one of her Paiwan songs “Lalingedan ni vuvu” [“The Ancestor’s Nose Flute”]. Using both nose flute playing and singing in Paiwan language, the song shows her effort to accentuate her Paiwan roots by connecting with her ancestors via the nose flute. The lines of the song mentioned above reflect how prominent cultural discourses in Taiwan depict the instruments today; the sound of Paiwan flutes (hereafter referred to collectively as Paiwan flutes) resembles the sound of weeping, which is a voice that evokes a sense of ancestral past and “thoughtful sorrow.” However, the music of Paiwan flutes was rarely labeled as sorrowful in literature before the mid-1990s.

Starling(C.L.スターリング) Citation 研究紀要(SHOIN REVIEW),第 42 号:33-56 Issue Date 2001 Resource Type Bulletin Paper / 紀要論文 Resource Version URL Right Additional Information Asserting Selflessness : The Case of Watsuji TetsurO by C. L. Starling The term philosophy, in its original Greek sense of "the love of wisdom," carries the implication of a serene, contemplative vocation. In keeping with this, the uninitiated might imagine the history of philosophy to be a long succession of distinguished minds, striving in peaceful seclusion to make sense of the world. In fact, of course, such placidity is rare, as even a cursory review of the three main philosophical traditions (the Indian, the Chinese and the European) will show. More typically, philosophy is combative. A new vision is advanced against predecessors or against contemporary adversaries. In India, Upanishad thinkers reinterpret Brahmanas mythology ; Jain theorists scoff at Vedantic Hinduism ; countless schools make com- peting claims to "truly" interpret Siddharta Gautama... In China, Mengzi contests Gaozi's belief that there is no human nature ; Xunzi takes issue with Mengzi's view that this nature is good ; Xin Xue questions Li Xue' s axiom that li exist outside the mind... In Europe, Socrates berates the Sophists ; Aristotle challenges Plato's idealism ; Rousseau undercuts the intellectualist tenets of the Enlightenment ; Marx revolutionizes Hegel... Philosophy evolves by negation. In Hegelian terms, thesis is challenged by an- tithesis and from this opposition arises a new synthesis, itself open to challenge.
