POLITICAL SCIENCE
2015-2016 Speaker Series
Presents a talk by
Professor of International Relations
Department of Global Studies, Ryukoku University, Kyoto, Japan
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
