Publisher Synopsis
In comparing the philosophies of religion by Tanabe Hajime, a founder of the Kyoto School, and William Desmond, the respected western thinker, Takeshi Morisato deftly clarifies with nuance the provocative ideas of both. More importantly, he also sets a course for future philosophizing about the relation between faith and reason. -- Thomas Kasulis, University Distinguished Scholar and Emeritus Professor of Comparative Studies, The Ohio State University, USA How does reason challenge faith and how does faith determine the limits of reason? And how does comparative philosophy, drawing on non-western sources, transform the way we understand the tangled relations between faith and reason, absolute and relative, immanence and transcendence? In answer to these questions, this engaging study clears a path through Kant's and Hegel's dense philosophies of religion and shows how William Desmond and Hajime Tanabe open new and complementary perspectives beyond the impasses in their thought. -- John C. Maraldo, Professor of Philosophy Emeritus, University of North Florida, USA Morisato presents a clear and compelling argument for rethinking the classical distinction between faith and reason by turning the question away from competing truth claims in the direction of Tanabe's metanoetics with the aid of Desmond's metaxology. More than a work of mere "comparative philosophy," it succeeds admirably in creating a fresh perspective on the philosophy of religion. -- James W. Heisig, Research Fellow Emeritus, Nanzan Institute for Religion & Culture, Japan Read more...
