POLITICAL SCIENCE
2015-2016 Speaker Series
Presents a talk by
Dr. Kosuke Shimizu
Professor of International Relations
Department of Global Studies, Ryukoku University, Kyoto, Japan
‘The Kyoto School and the Westphalian Language: a tragic story of being and language in non-Western international relations.’
The Kyoto School of philosophy has recently come to be seen as one of the sources of non-Western international relations (IR). Despite the high regard with which this philosophical tradition is held, there is a dark side to the School’s history; this is especially important in terms of critically engaging in IR as an academic discipline because it supposedly provides a cautionary tale to the contemporary literature of alternative IR theories, and non-Western IRT in particular. This paper strives to clarify Nishida Kitaro’s involvement in the wartime regime with a particular focus on the inherent and contradictory relationship between being and language. I will do so by critically investigating Nishida’s experience of involvement in the wartime regime by utilising his very concept of the eternal present. In other words, I will criticise Nishida’s politics by employing his philosophy.
Date: March 23, 2016
Time: 11:30 – 1:00 p.m.
Location: ATAC 5035 (Thunder Bay)
