Preferred term

kyoto school  

Definition

  • The Kyoto School was first identified as a coherent approach to philosophy by the Marxist intellectual, Tosaka Jun (1900–1945), in the early 1930s. The school is particularly noteworthy because it represents the first genuinely philosophical school of thought in modern Japan; the members developed original philosophical positions by drawing on both European philosophy (especially German idealism) and the intellectual traditions of Japan (and East Asia).
