The volume introduces the central themes in and the main figures of Japanese Buddhist philosophy. It will have two sections, one that discusses general topics relevant to Japanese Buddhist philosophy and one that reads the work of the main Japanese Buddhist philosophers in the context of comparative philosophy. It combines basic information with cutting edge scholarship considering recent publications in Japanese, Chinese, English, and other European languages. As such, it will be an invaluable tool for professors teaching courses in Asian and global philosophy, undergraduate and graduate students, as well as the people generally interested in philosophy and/or Buddhism.
“One can wholeheartedly agree that it was timely and wise on the part of the Dao Companions to gather some of the best current experts on the various subfields of Japanese Buddhist philosophy in order to contribute to creating a finely detailed, most accurate picture of how Buddhist thought has been shaped by, and is still shaping … . characteristically religious discourse that merits the attention of the general reader curious about the Asian religious cultural heritage.” (Lehel Balogh, Religious Studies Review, VOl. 45 (4), December, 2019)
