Description



Book Synopsis



This book brings together the work of two significant figures in contemporary philosophy. By considering the work of Tanabe Hajime, the Japanese philosopher of the Kyoto School, and William Desmond, the contemporary Irish philosopher, Takeshi Morisato offers a clear presentation of contemporary comparative solutions to the problems of the philosophy of religion. Importantly, this is the first book-length English-language study of Tanabe Hajime's philosophy of religion that consults the original Japanese texts.

Considering the examples of Christianity and Buddhism, Faith and Reason in Continental and Japanese Philosophyfocuses on finding the solution to the problem of philosophy of religion through comparative examinations of Tanabe's metanoetics and Desmond's metaxology. It aims to conclude that these contemporary thinkers - while they draw their inspiration from the different religious traditions of Christianity and Mahayana Buddhism - successfully reconfigure the relation of faith and reason.

Faith and Reason in Continental and Japanese Philosophy marks an important intervention into comparative philosophy by bringing into dialogue these thinkers, both major figures within their respective traditions yet rarely discussed in tandem.



Review Quotes




How does reason challenge faith and how does faith determine the limits of reason? And how does comparative philosophy, drawing on non-western sources, transform the way we understand the tangled relations between faith and reason, absolute and relative, immanence and transcendence? In answer to these questions, this engaging study clears a path through Kant's and Hegel's dense philosophies of religion and shows how William Desmond and Hajime Tanabe open new and complementary perspectives beyond the impasses in their thought.

In comparing the philosophies of religion by Tanabe Hajime, a founder of the Kyoto School, and William Desmond, the respected western thinker, Takeshi Morisato deftly clarifies with nuance the provocative ideas of both. More importantly, he also sets a course for future philosophizing about the relation between faith and reason.

Morisato presents a clear and compelling argument for rethinking the classical distinction between faith and reason by turning the question away from competing truth claims in the direction of Tanabe's metanoetics with the aid of Desmond's metaxology. More than a work of mere "comparative philosophy," it succeeds admirably in creating a fresh perspective on the philosophy of religion.
