Defending Japan's Pacific War

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on Japanese wartime intellectualism, the book examines the rationale behind Japan's rejection of Western ideologies and its aggression towards the United States and British Empire. Through an analysis of the Kyoto School's writings and their engagement with Heidegger, it challenges the notion that these ideas were simply fascist propaganda. Instead, it presents a nuanced argument centered on race and posits that the themes explored by Kyoto thinkers are increasingly relevant in light of demographic shifts anticipated in North America and Western Europe.
