Conference Announcement Theme: Transitions – Übergänge – 移り渉り Subtitle: Crossing the Boundaries in Japanese Philosophy Type: 4th ENOJP Conference Institution: European Network of Japanese Philosophy (ENOJP) Department of Philosophy, University of Hildesheim Location: Hildesheim (Germany) Date: 5.–8.9.2018 __________________________________________________ From Leon Krings <[email protected]> In Japanese Philosophy, we find a wide variety of observations on transitory phenomena. The notions of nothingness (無) and emptiness (空) in Daoist and Buddhist thought can be interpreted as modalities of openness which enable transitions and interpenetrations between different phenomena (事事無碍). This fundamental idea is also influential in Modern Japanese Philosophy. Nishida Kitarō’s *logic of place* emphasizes the (me-)ontological priority of encompassing fields and processes of self-structuring over rigid substances and Watsuji Tetsurō’s notion of “betweenness” (間柄) stresses the relationality and spatial transition of human existence which inspires the sociologist Hamaguchi Eshun to the concept of an “intersubject” (間人). Practices of self-cultivation which are influenced by different strains of East Asian Philosophy also constitute creative self-transformations of human subjects, enabling mediations between body and mind and structuring embodiments of mental and affective attitudes through habitualized enactments of bodily patterns (型).
