Synopsis
This fourth annual international conference for IAJP aims at 1) further reinforcing Japanese philosophy as a global academic discipline; 2) exploring the potential of Japanese philosophy in the context of, and beyond, the Kyoto School or the Tokyo School; and 3) developing a solid network for researchers working on Japanese philosophy.
Kyoto School and Tokyo School are representative philosophical schools in Japan, associated with Kyoto University and the University of Tokyo, respectively, but Japanese philosophy offers more than doctrines of particular schools. This conference welcomes proposals for critical and insightful presentations that challenge the study of Japanese philosophy through the re-reading and reconfiguring of related philosophical texts and issues, from East/West or even North/South perspectives. This conference specifically encourages young scholars along with seasoned veterans to submit their proposals. Topics may cover any period, figure, or context pertaining to Japanese philosophy and thought.
