Hi, ***...

Aside from my personal preference, many people admit first authentic Japanese philosopher is Kitaro Nishida, who wrote ' The Study of Goodness'. He learned in Tokyo and later taught in Kyoto. I hadn't read his masterpiece and largely I forgot what his idea was but as far as I could read in ethics textbook, he emphasises the importance of intuition rather than the analytical method to reach the truth.


Taisetsu Suzuki is even more famous overseas than domestically. He is Buddhism philosopher. Buddhism philosophy is very different from Western thought such as Greek philosophy, Christianity, Enlightenment thought. I think the core of Buddhism lies in how to reach the Emptiness through practice like meditation.


As to modern philosopher, I pick out Wataru Hiromatsu, his main writing is ' common subjective being structure of the world ' written only in Japanese, I think.

That's it what I recommend.

Talk to you soon..
