Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-350-14109-4 (ISBN)
Beginning with an overview of the reception of quantum physics and relativity theory in Japan and concluding with an account of the direct relevance of the Kyoto School to the development of world philosophy in a posthuman age, each clearly-written chapter engages historical contexts and includes:
· Carefully-chosen excerpts and original translations of Nishida, Tanabe, and Tosaka
· Focus boxes explaining complex concepts and problems of contextualization
· A timeline, glossary and index
· Further reading lists featuring relevant and significant articles and books in English
This introduction is an ideal starting point for students and lecturers looking to become better acquainted with three central Japanese philosophers and learn why their work impacts our current thinking about science.
Dean Anthony Brink is Professor in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at the National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Taiwan.
