授業の目的 【英語】 Goals of the Course | | All developing societies since the Industorial Revolution are fated to undergo Westernization, and apparently, Japan is one of the countries which has relatively suceeded to accept Western socio-political values.
But behind the modern Japanese history, there has always been inner tension between traditional values and Western ones. Such tension is most clearly represented in the effort of Japanese thinkers to accept critically or sometimes refuse fiercely "advanced" thoughts from western world.
In this Course, we read some papers of Japanese thinkers living in 20th century, who try to understand und explain their own traditions under such pressure and tension. In the globalizing world we live in, it is also meaningful to touch sincere footsteps of Japanese thinkers endeavoring to bridge the gap between their own thoughts and morals and the western ones. By reading the book unhurriedly, it is hopeful that we are led to search for the way to true encounter among different culutures. |
