I seek clarification in the relationships between teacher and student through exploring the inner relationship we formulate with our selves. In my inquiry, I remain open to self-reflection and self-questioning on a deeply phenomenological and meditative level as I question and seek what is Real. I subscribe to the Zen concept of seeing one’s nature (chien-hsing in Chinese; kensh in Japanese) or seeing True-nature (Kraft, 1992, p. 89) as I contemplate the authenticity in truth of the other, founded in the emptiness of śūnyatā. Emptiness should not be misunderstood as nothingness, rather selflessness (Yoshiro, 1989, p. 39)—that is, I find myself oriented towards a philosophy that suggests individuals possess no independent or fixed nature. Our comprehension of emptiness assists us in understanding the illusory nature of self and the suffering wrought by our attachment to any idea of a permanent identity. Instead of permanence, I look to apprehend the locus of the other, and apprehend the other through a locus of being. I develop Practising Receptance, reflecting a topological situatedness of us, moving away from the possibility of modern subjectivity that places us in a realm of temporality, isolating us. 1 Practising Receptance allows a topology of the living subject to explore the element of our isolation and its effect on us entering into the sphere of an other. Hisamatsu Shin'ichi illuminates our isolation, In our aloneness, in isolation, we suffer the weight of the human condition which burdens us all ‘As I am-however I am-will not do. Now what do I do?’ (in Shore, 2002, p. 32). Topology in this thesis refers to the ways in which we consider ourselves and others reflected in a spatial relationship. It is a mathematical term referring to figures that retain their original properties regardless of their manipulations. The metaphor for us follows—we have an original ‘shape’, an unbreakable and formless authenticity, yet this is changed over time by language and others, stretched and diverted from our originality. For the reasons mentioned, topology and not topography is a better description of the process of us, a clearer explanation as to the locus of us, situated in a space at a specific time, disregarding any notions of a fixed location. To see an other within a topological paradigm assists us in answering the question of ‘where’ we are situated, rather than ‘who’ we are. The advent of a spatial dimension to us allows a fluidity of self, unencumbered by the potentially superficial explanation of who, which might be answered by a myriad of responses, none of which reflect our relationship to the other, and our inherent isolation from others. The where of us requires deep and fundamental reflection on our topology, requiring meaningful questioning as to how we are located. Practising Receptance is a Zen-like way of thinking, allowing us to act in Reverence with the other, helping us to locate the topology of the other, in a proximal and spatial relationship, to apprehend one’s profound beauty. Practising Receptance requires an association between self and other, to 2 ascertain the topology of that other. The topology of the other requires an interaction to ascertain the other’s locus, to enter into the sphere of that other and apprehend the profound beauty there is. I situate myself in a critical and fundamental reassessment of relationships between adolescent students and teacher. My ideas are based in a hermeneutics of Lacanian thought, Zen Buddhism and Practising Receptance as I attempt to demystify possible hidden truths in student narratives as situated texts. In exploration of thinking, my ideas are from a number of texts from Jacques Lacan including Ecrits (1966, 1977, 2002) and The Language of the Self. The Function of Language in Psychoanalysis (1968) translated by Anthony Wilden. I also look to the ideas of Dan McAdams in his Life Story Model of Identity (1985, 2001) in my inquiry, which may offer insights into our locus. I wonder if we find locus in the narrative story of ‘me’, the construal of our story through conscious adherence to a figurated self. In our attachment to a self, do we confine and define ourselves, and then become isolated by our definition? In our aloneness, in isolation, we suffer. The ideas of Lacan, French psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, are represented extensively in this thesis. Lacan appeals to me in his unique application and thought—a seemingly courageous and rebellious figure, with an almost impenetrable writing style. I am particularly drawn to his Mirror Phase (1936), where we gain an understanding of the apprehension, objectification and development of the self, through identification of an ‘imago’, or ideal image, linking the ‘I’ to socially elaborated situations (Lacan, 2002, p.7). 3 Our understanding of two different forms of other is a key concept in Lacanian psychoanalysis and a central understanding in this thesis. In my understanding, Other (capital O) refers to the original unknowable individual, originally the mother, in her radical unknowable difference to us, or Otherness, and also as authenticity in others (that is, Others). The mother encapsulates both Real and Symbolic

    Jahrbuch für Internationale Germanistik pen Jahrgang LI – Heft 1 | Peter Lang, Bern | S. 57–100 Goethe, the Japanese National Identity through Cultural Exchange, 1889 to 1989 By Stefan Keppler-Tasaki and Seiko Tasaki, Tokyo Dedicated to A . Charles Muller on the occasion of his retirement from the University of Tokyo This is a study of the alleged “singular reception career”1 that Goethe experi- enced in Japan from 1889 to 1989, i. e., from the first translation of theMi gnon song to the last issues of the Neo Faust manga series . In its path, we will high- light six areas of discourse which concern the most prominent historical figures resp. figurations involved here: (1) the distinct academic schools of thought aligned with the topic “Goethe in Japan” since Kimura Kinji 木村謹治, (2) the tentative Japanification of Goethe by Thomas Mann and Gottfried Benn, (3) the recognition of the (un-)German classical writer in the circle of the Japanese national author Mori Ōgai 森鴎外, as well as Goethe’s rich resonances in (4) Japanese suicide ideals since the early days of Wertherism (Ueruteru-zumu ウェル テルヅム), (5) the Zen Buddhist theories of Nishida Kitarō 西田幾多郎 and D . T . Suzuki 鈴木大拙, and lastly (6) works of popular culture by Kurosawa Akira 黒澤明 and Tezuka Osamu 手塚治虫 . Critical appraisal of these source materials supports the thesis that the polite violence and interesting deceits of the discursive history of “Goethe, the Japanese” can mostly be traced back, other than to a form of speech in German-Japanese cultural diplomacy, to internal questions of Japanese national identity .

TYLER APRIL 2013 Copyright Lockland V. Tyler 2013 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Over the years professional philosophy has undergone a number of significant changes. One of these changes corresponds to an increased emphasis on objectivity among philosophers. In light of new discoveries in logic and science, contemporary analytic philosophy seeks to establish the most objective methods and answers possible to advance philosophical progress in an unambiguous way. By doing so, we are able to more precisely analyze concepts, but the increased emphasis on precision has also been accompanied by some negative consequences. These consequences, unfortunately, are much larger and problematic than many may even realize. What we have eventually arrived in at in contemporary Anglo-American analytic philosophy is a complete repression of humanistic concerns.

  • Taiwanese Philosophy and the Preservation of Confucian Tradition International Conference
    Taiwanese Philosophy and the Preservation of Confucian Tradition International Conference 17-18 October 2019 Chamber Hall of the University of Ljubljana Organized by: University of LjubljanaġİġEARL Ljubljana and Department of Asian Studies Center for Chinese Studies and National Central Library in Taiwan Taiwanese Philosophy and the Preservation of Confucian Tradition International Conference Statement of Purpose Although the philosophical currents in modern and contemporary Taiwan belong to the most influential and important streams of thought in contemporary East Asian theory, they are still unrecognized as specifically Taiwanese. The main reasons for the immense importance of Taiwanese philosophy for East Asia and the contemporary world are twofold. First, they can be found in its contributions to the preservation of traditional Chinese, especially Confucian thought. Secondly, its development of specific innovative philosophical approaches and systems profoundly influenced the theoretical discourses in the entire East Asian region. The philosophical currents in modern Taiwan were mainly developed during the second half of 20th century, in which the philosophical theory in mainland China was largely limited to the Sinization of Marxist thought. Hence, for many decades, Taiwanese philosophy represented the only driving force of developing, modernizing and upgrading traditional Chinese thought and its syntheses with Western thought. Hence, they soon also gained a wide spread popularity in most of the other East Asian societies that were traditionally influenced by classical Confucian thought, as for example Japan and South Korea. The conference, organized by Ljubljana University, the EARL in Ljubljana and the TRCCS at the National Central Library in Taipei under the academic leadership by Professor Jana S.

  • Ethics in Exile: a Comparative Study of Shinran and Maimonides
    Ethics in Exile: A Comparative Study of Shinran and Maimonides Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ilana Maymind Graduate Program in Comparative Studies The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Tamar Rudavsky, Advisor Thomas Kasulis, Advisor Lindsay Jones Copyright by Ilana Maymind 2011 Abstract While interest in Maimonides’ (1136 – 1204) thought and influence remains high among scholars, he has never been placed in a hypothetical conversation with any East Asian thinker. Similarly, Shinran (1173 – 1262) has been compared with some Christian thinkers (i.e. Calvin and lately Heidegger), yet his thought has never been compared with the thought of any Jewish thinker. This dissertation focuses on these two medieval thinkers: Shinran, founder of Japanese True Pure Land Buddhism (Jōdo Shinsh ū) and Maimonides, Jewish philosopher, rabbi, community leader and physician. This comparison takes into account Shinran’s and Maimonides’ respective exilic conditions and demonstrates that this experience was instrumental in the development of some of their views. When Maimonides’ views, informed by the Aristotelian privileging of the rational, are juxtaposed with those of Shinran, informed by Eastern tradition embedded in Indian, Chinese and Japanese medieval thought, we are forced to re-examine some of the premises that are often assumed to be universal. This juxtaposition reinforces the universality of the human desire to attain happiness, although understood differently by these two thinkers. Second, this analysis points to the fact that their respective views concerning happiness are embedded in the mechanisms that shaped human character; this is exemplified not only in their thought but also their behavior.

  • Nishida Kitarō's Logic of Absolutely Contradictory Identity and The
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Jagiellonian Univeristy Repository Agnieszka Kozyra Nishida Kitarō’s Logic of Absolutely Contradictory Identity and the Problem of Ethics in Zen Ethics is learning about the concept of good and principles in human behaviour; it is associated with the existence of moral standards. In the case of Zen, however, we cannot speak about ethics in the sense of some collection of precepts, which distinctly belong to this school. Can Zen ethics even be said to exist, since Zen masters advocate overcoming the duality of all opposites, including the opposition between good and evil? The answer to this question also seems not to be clear to some Zen practitioners, for instance in contemporary American Zen centers, where some masters have justified their blameworthy behaviour (drunkenness, seduction of female pupils) by claiming to be free from the concepts of 1 good and evil . Of course, such behaviour has been criticized not only by public opinion, but also by other Zen masters. In my opinion, Zen ethics should be treated as a part of philosophical reflections on the experience of Enlightenment. Such a statement brings us to the problem of Zen philosophy. In this article, I would like to present the analysis of Zen ethics from the point of view of Nishida Kitarō’s philosophy of ‘absolute nothingness’ (zettaimu ) and its logic of paradox, i.e. logic of absolute contradictory self- identity ( zettaimujunteki jikodōitsu no ronri ), which is, in my opinion, the 2 key to Zen master’s teaching and kōans .

  • STUDIES of RELIGION in JAPAN and the PHILOSOPHY of RELIGION Shoto Hase Many People Think That Philosophy of Religion, Unlike
    STUDIES OF RELIGION IN JAPAN AND THE PHILOSOPHY OF RELIGION Shoto Hase Many people think that philosophy of religion, unlike descriptive studies of religion, takes a normative standpoint and has no point of ‘refer- ence’ to serve as a foundation for objective knowledge. Such a restrictive understanding of this eld does not apply to philosophy of religion in Japan, however, where investigations into religions have habitually been based on questioning as to the source from which, or through what kind of reality, examinations should be conducted. In other words, the fundamental issue of the philosophy of religion in Japan has been to explain what the point of ‘reference’ is. Joachim Wach has argued that the philosophy of religion does not have any reference.1 According to him, Religious Studies as a discipline examines religions from a descriptive viewpoint, on the basis of facts. The philosophy of religion, on the other hand, stipulates what religions should be from a normative viewpoint, according to rationality. The difference between these two viewpoints is that, while Religious Studies as an empirical eld \ nds a clear referential dimension in particular facts that serve as a foundation for scienti c knowledge, philosophy of religion does not have such a referential dimension. On this ground, philosophy of religion has widely come to be regarded as taking an abstract and fundamentalist stance of prescribing the essence and meaning of religions, regardless of facts. This proposition by Wach follows the neo-Kantian tradition of de n- ing reality in an extremely narrow manner by limiting the dimension of linguistic reference to the objective reality of the empirical sciences.

  • William James and Kitaro Nishida on Consciousness and Embodiment | William James Studies
    11/11/2015 The Varieties of Pure Experience: William James and Kitaro Nishida on Consciousness and Embodiment | William James Studies VOLUME 1 THE VARIETIES OF PURE EXPERIENCE: WILLIAM JAMES AND KITARO NISHIDA ON CONSCIOUSNESS AND EMBODIMENT The Varieties of Pure Experience: William James and Kitaro Nishida on Consciousness and Embodiment Joel W. Krueger 1. Introduction The notion of “pure experience” is one of the most intriguing and simultaneously perplexing features 1 of William James’s writings. There seems to be little consensus in the secondary literature as to how to understand this notion, and precisely what function it serves within the overall structure of James’s thought. Yet James himself regards this idea as the cornerstone of his radical empiricism. And the latter, James felt, was his unique contribution to the history of philosophy; he believed that philosophy “was on the eve of a considerable rearrangement” when his essay “A World of Pure Experience” was first published in 1904. While Western philosophy is still perhaps awaiting this “considerable rearrangement,” James’s notion of pure experience was quickly appropriated by another thinker who in fact did inaugurate a considerable rearrangement of his own intellectual tradition: the Japanese philosopher Kitaro Nishida (1870—1945), the founder and most important figure of the Kyoto School of modern Japanese philosophy. Kitaro Nishida is widely recognized as Japan’s foremost modern philosopher. His earliest major work, 2 An Inquiry into the Good (1911), is generally considered to be the founding statement of the Kyoto School of modern Japanese philosophy. Other prominent Kyoto School figures, including Hajime Tanabe (1885–1962), Keiji Nishitani (1900–1990), and Masao Abe (1915– ), each acknowledged the profound influence of Nishida’s work on their own intellectual development.
