This grant enabled us to travel to Kyoto for a preliminary discussion of the text with Professor Nishitani. The bulk of the funding for the project came from a translation grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities: we should like to take this opportunity to thank the staff of the Texts / Translations Program at the Endowment for their efficient assistance and kind encouragement over the past few years. We are grateful for an award from the Research Relations Fund at the University of Hawaii, which provided the primary translator with a course-reduction for the semester following our six months of work on the translation in Japan. The release-time fur­ nished by this award came at just the right time, and accelerated progress on the project considerably. We also wish to acknowledge the assistance of the NorthEast Asia Council of the Association for Asian Studies. A travel grant awarded in 1988 enabled us to return to Japan for final consultations with Professor Nishitani in Kyoto and Dr. James Heisig in Nagoya. We are grateful to Jan Van Bragt, Director of the Nanzan Insti­ tute for Religion and Culture, for his meticulous reading of an early draft of the translation, as well as to James Heisig for his help in de­ and reconstructing the manuscript at a later stage. Would that every translation project from Japanese could be blessed with such intelli­ gent readers. Throughout the course of the project Professor Horio Tsutomu of Otani University in Kyoto, a former student of Professor Nishita­ ni's, provided invaluable assistance with unfailing serenity. Stefan Thumfart, who was engaged in graduate study at Kyoto University at the time of our first draft, was kind enough to let me (GRP) see a draft of his German translation of the chapters of Hishitani's book that deal with Nietzsche. He also provided references to the TaishO Tripitaka and German translations of the more opaque quotations xii The Self-Overcoming of Nihilism from Chinese Zen sources (which he had it turn received from his friend Dr. Dieter Schwaller). Gratitude is due to my colleague here in Hawaii, Virgina Ben­ nett, who standardized the orthography of the proper names in the chapter on Russian nihilism. My friend Lee Siegel helped, at the eleventh hour, to eradicate some tenacious infelicities from the pen­ ultimate draft of the Introduction, which had already benefited from James Heisig's comments. Thanks, also, to Lori Kuriyama for her efficient typing of the entire draft of the translation. I should like to take the opportunity to acknowledge Setsuko Aihara's invaluable contribution to the project, and to register awe at the facility with which she was able to wrest the most recalci­ trant passages of Japanese into comprehensible English. Equally re­ markable was the serene patience with which, in the earliest stages of the translation accomplished in the sweltering heat of a To kyo summer, she would coolly remind me of what Nishitani's Japa­ nese was actually saying in contrast to what I thought it ought to be meaning. We should like, lastly, to thank Professor Nishitani himself, as well as his daughter, for the kind hospitality extended to us on our visits to his home in Kyoto over the past several years. The long conversations held in the quiet little room distinguished by the sig­ nificant absence of any kind of clock, where time would pass as it rarely passes, linger in the memory as the most delightful feature of the entire project.

  • Re-Politicising the Kyoto School As Philosophy
    Re-Politicising the Kyoto School as Philosophy Edited by Christopher Goto-Jones (2008) 8 The definite internationalism of the Kyoto School Changing attitudes in the contemporary academy1 Graham Parkes Nationalism manifests itself alonga spectrum of forms and a variety of contexts. When espoused by a people oppressed by a colonial power in the cause of achieving independence, it can surely be a good thing, whereas the form prosecuted by the National Socialists in 1930s Germany exemplifies the phenomenon at its most pernicious. Since the philosophy of the Kyoto School has been dismissed as ultra- nationalist ideologymerely masqueradingas philosophy, it is worth askingwhat kind of nationalism it advocates. If it turns out to be the kind that is compatible with, or even naturally leads to, internationalism, there may be little point in complainingabout it. We may also find that what the Kyoto School philosophers have to say about internationalism is relevant to issues that still confront us in the globalizing world of the early twenty-first century. In his well-documented presentation of the School’s founder, Nishida Kitaro,¯ as a significant and decidedly un-nationalistic political thinker, Christopher Goto- Jones helpfully sketches some of the relevant sources for Nishida’s thinkingin Neo-Confucianism and various schools of Japanese Buddhism (Goto-Jones 2005: 25–46).2 I shall begin by tracing some older and broader philosophical ideas from these traditions that naturally incline the Kyoto School philosophers away from nationalism, as background for an overview of internationalist ideas in the works of Nishida Kitaro¯ and Kuki Shuz¯ o.¯ 3 Similar ideas are to be found in the work of Nishitani Keiji, but space permits only a brief account of his contribution rather than the longer treatment it deserves.

  • Jean-Luc Nancy and the Deconstruction of Christianity By
    Jean-Luc Nancy and the Deconstruction of Christianity by Tenzan Eaghll A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department for the Study of Religion University of Toronto ©Copyright by Tenzan Eaghll 2016 Jean-Luc Nancy and the Deconstruction of Christianity Tenzan Eaghll Doctor of Philosophy Department for the Study of Religion University of Toronto 2016 Abstract This dissertation is a study of the origins and development of the French philosopher Jean- Luc Nancy’s work on the “deconstruction of Christianity.” By situating Nancy's work in light of the broader Continental philosophical analysis of religion in the 20th Century, it argues that what Nancy calls the "deconstruction of Christianity" and the "exit from religion" is his unique intervention into the problem of metaphysical nihilism in Western thought. The author explains that Nancy’s work on religion does not provide a new “theory” for the study of religion or Christianity, but shows how Western metaphysical foundations are caught up in a process of decomposition that has been brought about by Christianity. For Nancy, the only way out of nihilism is to think of the world as an infinite opening unto itself, for this dis- encloses any transcendent principle of value or immanent notion of meaninglessness in the finite spacing of sense, and he finds the resources to think this opening within Christianity. By reading Christian notions like "God" and "creation ex nihilo" along deconstructive lines and connecting them with the rise and fall of this civilization that once called itself "Christendom," he attempts to expose "the sense of an absenting" that is both the condition of possibility for the West and what precedes, succeeds, and exceeds it.

My argument is that the sense of displacement and preoccupation with "other" worlds which characterise these novels reflect a national tradition which positions Australian life at the "edge" of a culturally and politically dominant "centre." Such a perspective is not so much geographical as discursive; Australia was first defined, after all, through a European discourse which assumed its own centrality.

There are thirty pilgrims and twenty-two tales in this grand work. As it is unlikely to discuss all of them in one thesis, I focus my research on four pilgrims—the Miller, the Prioress, the Wife of Bath, and the Pardoner—to demonstrate Chaucer‘s prejudices in various aspects. The chapter on the Miller analyzes how men and women interact in sexual terms in the public domains and private spaces, investigating the poet‘s sexual discrimination in his final distribution of punishments for the characters as well as his chauvinistic disregard of the female body and its autonomy; Chaucer‘s punishment is not entirely of ‗poetic justice‘ as it is dispensed at the cost of class victimization and the vilification of the female body.

  • Respect for Life: Can Zen Buddhism Help in Forming an Environmental Ethic?
    Zen Buddhism Today, No. 7, September 1989, pp, 11-30. ISSN 0912-8298 Respect for Life: Can Zen Buddhism Help in Forming an Environmental Ethic? Holmes ROLSTON, III Environmental ethics stretches Western ethics to a breaking point. All ethics seeks an appropriate respect for life. This has required applying ethics to business, law, medicine, technology, international development, and nuclear disarmament—especially where science, pure and applied, has given us recent understanding and power, coupled with deeper sensitivities to human rights discovered by ethics and religion. But none of these asks whether there can be duties past humans. Respect for life demands an ethic concerned with human welfare, analogous to the others and now concerning the environment. But respect for life in environmental ethics goes further, to ask whether there can be nonhuman objects of duty. We need an ethic for the nature that mixes with culture, even an ethic for wild nature. Western ethics, classically, has not thought that it needed values outside of human subjects, but environmental ethics must be more biologically objective, that is, nonanthropocentric. It challenges the separation of science and ethics, trying to reform both a science that has found nature value free and an ethics that assumes that only humans count morally. This has been conceptually dif- ficult because Western science and ethics have agreed on a boundary between fact and value, between what is and what ought to be. That life exists is an in- disputable biological fact—not only human life but five million other species on planet Earth. One ought to respect life.

  • Nihilism After Nietzsche Nietzsche Imagined That the Advent of Nihilism
    MICHAEL A. GILLESPIE Nihilism After Nietzsche Nietzsche imagined that the advent of nihilism would be coterminous with the beginning of a new tragic age. He realized that the death of God and the nihilism that followed in its wake would be catastrophic, undermining European morality and unleashing a monstrous logic of terror, but despite this he welcomed its arrival in large part because he believed it would open up the possibility for the development of a harder and higher super-humanity that could overcome the decadence and degeneration that characterized nineteenth century European civilization. While Nietzsche is often thought to have formulated the concept of nihilism, it actually has a much longer history. The term was first used in the late eighteenth century to describe Fichte’s absolute egoism and the thought of his followers, many of whom constituted the core of Jena Romanticism. During this period the term was generally connected with atheism and with a rejection of all existing sources of authority by critics such as Jacobi and Jean Paul, and later by Turgenev, and Dostoevsky. They were all convinced that if the I was posited as absolute, God was nothing, and that without God all authority could have no other basis than shifting human will and opinion 1 . The problem presented by nihilism for its early critics thus arises out of an exaggeration and exaltation of human beings in place of God. Nietzsche turned this concept on its head, arguing that the death of God was the result not of a Promethean exaltation of man but of the diminution of man brought about by the slave revolt against the master morality of antiquity.
