グローバル教養科目（Japanese Philosophy and the Global World）
Japanese Philosophy and the Global World
The aim of the course is not only to read the Kyoto School philosophy but to draw on these thinkers in order to engage the problems of today’s global world. These thinkers shared cosmopolitan visions of the future, seeking to address issues related to colonialism, social conflict, and self/cultural identity. But if we read these thinkers more hermeneutically, we can find that their work touches on issues that afflict us today as well: issues, such as environmental degradation, military escalation, and excess capitalism. What this course aims to do is to have students exercise their analytical and critical thinking skills in English by deploying these authors or texts in the service of demonstrating their relevance to the sustainable development goals that is the center of Global Liberal Arts Courses (or students can do the opposite, as an option--to disprove their relevance!). In this course, students will:
a) learn the fundamental arguments proposed by leading Kyoto School thinkers
b) understand and discuss the controversies around the Kyoto School
c) explore the personal, social, and political issues raised by the Kyoto School
d) and theorize the possible connections or relevance the Kyoto School has to contemporary problems or issues related to the sustainable development goals
