This is the first volume to explore the modern reception and contemporary relevance of Aristotle and his philosophy in Japan, making it a valuable contribution to both global Aristotelian studies and studies of Japanese philosophical traditions.

The study of Aristotle’s philosophy in Japan is already over a hundred years old, yet the fruits of these efforts have mostly been published in Japanese and thus circulated almost entirely within Japan. Japanese scholarship, however, has not been conducted in isolation, but rather has developed by keeping up with crucial contemporary trends in international scholarship. Aristotelian studies in Japan have therefore been neither particularly Japanese nor Far East Asian at first glance, which is one reason why they have not received much attention in Japanese philosophical literature. This volume addresses this gap, exploring the long historical struggle of Japanese people to read, understand and adopt Aristotle’s philosophy in a philosophical tradition different from the West. It also examines the applicability of Aristotle’s philosophy to contemporary issues and demonstrates the extent to which his philosophy remains relevant today, whether in the East or West.

Aristotle in Japan: Reception, Interpretation and Application is of interest to students and scholars of Aristotelian philosophy, as well as those working on Japanese philosophy and classical reception.

His research focuses on Hellenistic and Roman philosophy, with published articles and book chapters on the Stoic, Platonic and Aristotelian traditions. He is also active in a collaborative project on the receptions of Greek and Roman antiquity in Japan. Koji Tachibana is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Chiba University, Japan, and International Associate Scholar at Georgetown University Medical Center, USA. He is the editor of Alternative Virtues: Japanese Perspectives on Christian and Confucian Traditions and Education (Routledge, 2025) and has published many articles, including ‘Virtue Ethics Embedded: Aristotelianism in the post-war Japanese Moral Education’ (Journal of Moral Education, 2024) and ‘The Consciousness of Virtue’ (Frontiers in Psychology, 2024, with E. Nakazawa).
