About this course
This course provides a systematic introduction to Japanese philosophy and its classical traditions, including the native tradition of Shinto and the nativized traditions of Confucianism and Buddhism. These traditions will be studied by analyzing their perspectives on the central problems of philosophy and by evaluating their responses to each other and to their larger historical context.
