This book brings together the work of two significant figures in contemporary philosophy. By considering the work of Tanabe Hajime, the Japanese philosopher of the Kyoto School, and William Desmond, the contemporary Irish philosopher, Takeshi Morisato offers a clear presentation of contemporary comparative solutions to the problems of the philosophy of religion. Importantly, this is the first book-length English-language study of Tanabe Hajime”s philosophy of religion that consults the original Japanese texts.
Considering the examples of Christianity and Buddhism,
Faith and Reason in Continental and Japanese Philosophy focuses on finding the solution to the problem of philosophy of religion through comparative examinations of Tanabe”s metanoetics and Desmond”s metaxology. It aims to conclude that these contemporary thinkers – while they draw their inspiration from the different religious traditions of Christianity and Mahayana Buddhism – successfully reconfigure the relation of faith and reason.
Faith and Reason in Continental and Japanese Philosophy marks an important intervention into comparative philosophy by bringing into dialogue these thinkers, both major figures within their respective traditions yet rarely discussed in tandem.
