Resumen
Teachers and researchers of Japanese philosophy do their practice worldwide.
Although the object of this study is very concise, and limited to boundaries that
are always debatable, the range of discussion is global. I. e. “Japanese philosophy”
must be practised with a holistic view in mind, as a signifier which points to
something broader, from which it derives its possible meaning. This has to do not
just with the fact that particular instances in the history of thought in Japan
cannot be understood unless we relate them with occurrences in the history of
Chinese, Indian or European thought, but also the issues under discussion are
never strictly speaking Japanese, on the contrary they are part of broader, even
global discussions. (The term “global” used in this context does not allude to the
recent phenomenon of globalization, but is synonymous with “worldwide” or
“holistic”). If this is the case, then we have in our hands an object of research
which reveals a basic character of interrelatedness, to begin with. From this
moment, we become aware of the inadequacy of trying to keep the limits of
Japanese philosophy within Japan. We are not just pointing at the fact that the
history of thought in Japan is much indebted to foreign schools of philosophy.
