Japanese Drama and Culture in the 1960s: The Return of the Gods (Routledge Revivals)
by D.G. GoodmanThis title was first published in 1988: In this book the author has translated five postwar experimental Japanese plays and recreated the artistic, social and spiritual milieu in which they were created. He describes the turning point in Japanese thinking about the nature and limitations of a Western-oriented modern culture, and the creation of "underground" theatres which in which evolved a new mythology of history. Professor Goodman sees these developments as an interplay between personal and political (ie revolutionary) salvation.

Japanese "Judicial Imperialism" and the Origins of the Coercive Illegality of Japan's Annexation of Korea: A Study of Unequal Treaties between Korea and Japan, 1876–1910
by Kyu-hyun JoThis book explores the legacy of the Japanese empire in Korea, asking how colonialism arose as a legal idea. What was the legal process behind the establishment of colonialism as Japan's prime strategy towards Korea since the late 19th century? By addressing such questions, it is not only possible to address how Japanese colonialism in Korea was born, but also address how the process behind the making of colonialism as a judicial and legal project was illegal from its origination. As East Asia grapples with a new generation of power politics, these sober reflects lend an important historical context to the struggles of the present.
Japanese Studies in the Philosophy of Science (Boston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science #45)
by Robert S. CohenThe splendid achievements of Japanese mathematics and natural sciences during the second half of our 20th century have been a revival, a Renaissance, of the practical sciences developed along with the turn toward Western thinking in the late 19th century. The equally admirable results of Japanese philosophers (and historians) of science in our time followed upon a period less congenial to Western interests in the philosophical questions linked to modern science; and this reluctance to confront the epistemology, not even the humane significance, of the sciences went along with devotion to other Western trends. Thus, with the 'new' Japan of the Meiji restoration of 1868, and the early introduction of Western philosophy in the subsequent decade by Nishi Amane, a period of intellectual attraction to utilitarian, positivist, evolutionary, even materialist outlooks was soon replaced by devotion to scholarly work on Kant and Hegel, on ethical and general philosophical idealism. These studies often could emulate the critical spirit (the philosopher Onishe Hajime, praised for his own critical independence, was known as the Japanese Kant) but the neo Kantian and neo-Hegelian developments were not much affected by either empirical sciences or theoretical speculations about Nature. The pre-eminent philosopher of Japan ofthe first half of our century was Nishida Kitaro, with a pioneering treatise A Study of the Good, who, with his leading student Tanabe Hajime, formed the 'Kyoto School' of pre-war philosophy.

Jenseits des Unentscheidbaren: Sechs Kapitel zur Frage nach dem Wesen der Zeit in der modernen und postmodernen Philosophie Japans
by Takeo HaradaDie Abhandlung beleuchtet das für Europäer immer noch exotische Zeitverständnis der Japaner. Zur Vermittlung der geschichtlichen und soziologischen Voraussetzungen stellt der Autor die Werke der führenden japanischen Philosophen sowie Rechtswissenschaftler vor. Die Analyse führt zu dem Ergebnis, dass der Zeitbegriff im Bewußtsein der Japaner seit Beginn der landesweiten Modernisierung janusköpfig gestaltet ist: Einerseits wurde versucht, die Zukunftsorientiertheit der Japaner durch den totalen Bruch mit ihrer Vergangenheit herbeizuführen. Andererseits wurde jedoch zugleich ihre Sehnsucht nach dem Japanisch-Kaiserlichen als Symbol ihrer gemeinsamen Vergangenheit gestärkt. Diese Zwiespältigkeit trat nach Ansicht des Autors immer dann offen zutage, wenn die Beschleunigung der gesellschaftlichen Integration in Japan dringend geboten war.

HouldenThis unique multidisciplinary study views Jesus as one of the most central figures in history with a wide-ranging impact on society, literature, art, and philosophy.Jesus in History, Thought, and Culture distills 2,000 years of thinking about Jesus into two intriguing volumes.

Scholars, students of theology and world religions, and other interested readers will all welcome this unique resource.
Jesus, Jihad and Peace: What Bible Prophecy Says About World Events Today
by Michael YoussefJudaism, Christianity, and Islam all feature parallel accounts of the "end times," and all three accounts feature a messianic Savior, an apocalyptic final war between good and evil, and a central role for the city of Jerusalem. Do these three "end times" scenarios intersect in some way? In a world that cries out for peace, which will prevail -- Jesus or jihad?
Jesus Loves Me: Celebrating the Profound Truths of a Simple Hymn
by Calvin MillerThere are few songs more recognizable to the Christian believer than Anna B. Warner's beloved hymn, "Jesus Loves Me."

Now, by examining this beloved hymn verse by verse, including the little known second and third stanzas, Calvin Miller seeks to remind believers of the clear and abiding truths found within this child's rhyme. In doing so, he establishes the song as a creed by which busy Christian adults can live and grow.
