Japanese Environmental Philosophy is an anthology that responds to the environmental problems of the 21st century by drawing from Japanese philosophical traditions to investigate our relationships with other humans, nonhuman animals, and the environment. It contains chapters from fifteen top scholars from Japan, the United States, and Europe. The essays cover a broad range of Japanese thought, including Zen Buddhism, Shintoism, the Kyoto School, Japanese art and aesthetics, and traditional Japanese culture.
Japanese Environmental Philosophy provides timely perspectives on the ecological exigencies facing our world while also offering essential scholarship in the burgeoning field of Japanese philosophy... [for] it offers fresh perspectives on key debates. The quality of the work in this anthology is excellent. ... Working through the volume the reader will engage with foundational aspects of Japanese cultural, religious, and philosophical traditions, with an eye toward contemporary environmental concerns. Given the mounting ecological crises we are experiencing throughout the world, environmental philosophy should not be confined to a specialized subfield. ... Japanese Environmental Philosophy is a model of how an anthology can open up a space for productive cross-cultural environmental theory and action. * Philosophy East and West *
