Open Letter to President Xi Jinping on the Climate Crisis
Although climate models predict that global heating will prove more devastating for China than for many other countries, and economic models have shown that a transition to a low-carbon economy would strengthen China in the long run, the Chinese leadership has failed to reduce fossil fuel consumption enough to avoid extremes of weather that are devastating the country. Not long after becoming president, Xi Jinping announced a project to ground “s…
Confucian and Daoist, Stoic and Epicurean. Some Parallels in Ways of Living
The Art of Rulership in the Context of Heaven and Earth
Kūkai and Dōgen as Exemplars of Ecological Engagement
The current environmental crisis is largely due to a particular conception of the human relationship to nature. Common in anthropocentric traditions of Western thought, this view depicts human beings as separate from, and superior to, all other beings in the natural world. Traditional East Asian understandings of this relationship are quite different and remarkably unanthropocentric, especially as exemplified in the ideas of Chinese Daoism and Ja…
Reply to Bret Davis: Zarathustra and Asian Thought: A Few Final Words
Dear Bret,Many thanks for your long and thoughtful reply to my letter on egoism, laced with wit and framed by such generous remarks about friendship and that massively ignored book Composing the Soul. You're quite right to suggest that “decomposing” is crucial: a more informative title would have Decomposing and Recomposing the Soul, but I thought that was too clunky. And you're kind to call it a classic (of course what I wished for it); I think …
Nietzsche’s Environmental Philosophy: A Trans-European Perspective
Thinking Rocks, Living Stones: Reflections on Chinese Lithophilia
One of the most fascinating features that distinguish Chinese culture from the world's other great traditions is its enduring passion for stone. As in many other places, there is prehistoric evidence in China of religious practices in which stone plays a key role, but the Chinese veneration for stone in its natural, unworked state is unparalleled in its intensity and range. A classic historical text from around the 3rd century BCE mentions 'weird…
La Pensée des Rochers – La Vie des Pierres: Réflexions sur une passion chinoise
La passion des Chinois pour les pierres est un trait fondamental de leur culture qui remonte à la préhistoire, a traversé les siècles et perdure encore aujourd’hui ; cette dévotion s’enracine dans leur conception philosophique du monde où minéraux, végétaux animaux et êtres humains sont animés des mêmes énergies vitales (le « qi »). Les Chinois construisent des jardins remplis de rocailles et de fleurs qui favorisent la méditation et l’union avec…
Reading Zen in the Rocks: The Japanese Dry Landscape Garden
While museums across North America are replicating rock in their courtyards and miniature versions now decorate offices, these Zen gardens remain enigmatic, their philosophical and aesthetic significance obscured. French historian Francois Berthier traces the history of the karesansui garden in Reading Zen in the Rocks, here translated by Graham Parkes and beautifully illustrated with photographs of all the major gardens discussed. Berthier trace…
Staying Loyal to the Earth: Nietzsche as an Ecological Thinker
It is customary in current discussions of the environmental crisis to ascribe responsibility for the pernicious effects of our technological domination of the earth to a tradition of thinking about the human relation to nature that is characterised as Platonic and/or Judaeo- Christian. Nor is it unreasonable to suppose that a world-view in which the physical universe is denigrated as unreal by comparison with an intelligible realm of unchanging i…
The Putative Fascism of the Kyoto School and the Political Correctness of the Modern Academy
Nietzsche and East Asian thought: Influences, impacts, and resonances
I imagine future thinkers in whom European-American indefatigability is combined with the hundredfold-inherited contemplativeness of the Asians: such a combination will bring the riddle of the world to a solution. (1876)
The Cambridge Companion to Nietzsche
The significance of Friedrich Nietzsche for twentieth century culture is now no longer a matter of dispute. He was quite simply one of the most influential of modern thinkers. The opening essay of this 1996 Companion provides a chronologically organised introduction to and summary of Nietzsche's published works, while also providing an overview of their basic themes and concerns. It is followed by three essays on the appropriation and misappropri…
Jung and Eastern Thought: A Dialogue with the Orient
Jung was fascinated by the east. Through his commentaries on such texts as the I Ching and The Tibetan Book of the Dead, and through his essays on such topics as Zen, meditation and the symbolism of the mandala, Jung attempted to build a bridge of understanding between western psychology and the ancient ideas and practices of eastern religion. By doing so he hoped to relate traditional eastern thought to modern western concerns. John Clarke's lat…
Wanderers in the shadow of nihilism: Nietzsche's ‘good Europeans’
Thus Nietzsche on the Ouverture to Wagner's « Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg », in judgments separated by a period of eighteen years. The major factor behind his eventual ambivalence concerns nationalism in general and Germany in particular
Die japanische Philosophie: Eine Einfuhrung (Japanese Philosophy: An Introduction)
Nietzsche and Asian Thought
Friedrich Nietzsche's work has had a significant impact on the intellectual life of non-Western cultures and elicited responses from thinkers outside of the Anglo-American philosophical traditions as well. Bringing together 13 internationally renowned scholars, this collection of essays addresses the connection between Nietzsche's ideas and philosphies in India, China and Japan. The contributors are Roger T. Ames, Johann Figl, Chen Guying, Michel…
