Hardback. Condition: New. For nearly two decades, the Nanzan Guide to Japanese Religions has served as a valuable resource for students and scholars of religion in Japan. This exciting update expands the audience to include non-specialists of Japan while also complicating the notions of "Japan" and "religion." Asking the provocative question "why study Japanese religions?" the editors argue that studying Japan is vital for the academic study of religion writ large and make a case for the continued importance of religious topics in Japan studies, broadly conceived.The volume addresses the question of why-and how-to study Japanese religions in seven sections, each overseen by a leading expert in that subfield. The section on "Knowledge Production" investigates medicine, sacred objects, and the politico-economic structures undergirding academia. "Cosmology and Time" reveals how religion shaped worldviews in both premodern and modern Japan by taking up topics such as the afterlife, divination, and relationships between science and religion. "Space and Environment" considers geography, relationships between the human and nonhuman denizens of the Japanese archipelago, and religion in Japan's overseas colonies and among diasporic outmigrants. "Feelings and Belonging" focuses on affective relationships generated through confraternities, homiletics, and caring professions. "Politics and Governance" describes longstanding relationships between religion and the state, covering everything from sacred kingship to contemporary electoral politics. The final two sections include practical advice for conducting fieldwork and helpful introductions to several relevant archives. Overall, the volume reflects the impact of recent scholarly trends in the study of Japanese religions, including material religion studies, affect theory, environmental humanities, and critical secularism studies. The breadth of topics as well as the accessibility of the individual chapters makes The New Nanzan Guide to Japanese Religions an indispensable resource for the classroom. It will be useful not only for scholars of Japan, but also for anyone interested in the academic study of religion.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. With this volume, the Nanzan Institute for Religion and Culture launches a new book series, the Nanzan Library of Japanese Philosophy, as a venue for translations of Japanese philosophical works and essays on related topics. For decades, the Nanzan Institute has been the global leader for research and publications on Japanese philosophy. This inaugural publication of the series includes translations of Nishida Kitaro's seminal work Zettai mujunteki jikodoitsu. Completed in 1939 at the peak of Nishida's career as a philosopher, this work lays the foundation for his concept of "absolute contradictory self-identity," which came to define the final period of his philosophical writings. By translating this notoriously complicated work into seven languages (French, English, Italian, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, Brazilian Portuguese, and German), this volume not only makes Nishida's thoughts on self-identity accessible to an international readership but is also an experiment in the art of translation. We invite those interested in the philosophy of Nishida as well as the process of translation to explore how the translations in this volume, all produced by Nishida scholars, interpret the text. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.…
