Informationen zum Autor Christopher Goto-Jones is Professor of Modern Japan Studies and director of the Modern East Asia Research Centre at Leiden University. He has written widely on issues of the location of the non-European in political thought and philosophy, and is the author of Political Philosophy in Japan: Nishida, the Kyoto School and Co-Prosperity (Routledge, 2005). Zusammenfassung Rather than focusing on the Kyoto School's wartime legacy, this original book examines the philosophical texts of the members of the Kyoto School, proving that they developed serious and sophisticated positions on many key questions of political philosophy.
