Reviews

In this wonderful translation, Morisato and Staton bring the thought of one of Japan's top Nishida scholars to the English-speaking world. Here, Itabashi masterfully illustrates the implicit theory of self, other, and the role of the body in Nishida’s Inquiry, which he skillfully situates within a contemporary context. * Kyle Michael James Shuttleworth, Assistant Professor of Philosophy, Akita International University, Japan * Itabashi Yujin not only interprets but also develops Nishida Kitaro’s philosophy of embodiment in order to address the modern problem of excessive bodily control and to suggest how we can live more freely and enjoy our embodied lives, even in the midst of inevitable physical suffering. * Bret W. Davis, Professor and Higgins Chair of Philosophy, Loyola University Maryland, USA *
