Editorial Review:

This book approaches the right to life in Japan from a legal viewpoint via a broad range of issues such as abortion, capital punishment and death from overwork. Following a discussion of law and rights in Japan from a historical perspective, the author examines the question of what life is in contemporary Japan and focuses on problematic areas which have arisen in life issues, including infringements of the right to life within the modern company organization, and by the state, as well as the question of the equality of the right to life. The Right to Life in Japan is a study that brings new perspectives on an extremely important topic for all those facing the moral dilemmas of such issues as abortion and the death penalty.

Filosofia basada en el budismo Zen 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Es una filosofia clara y sencilla de vida basada en el budismo zen, inicialmente centrada en la ceremonia del Té y que luego se exentendió a los ámbitos de la vida cotidiana del Japon, hoy olvidada por las nuevas generaciones de ese pais.
Se ha tratado de revivirla adaptandola a las nuevas circunstancias.
Yo lo definiria como la filosofia de las cosas sencillas e intracendentes, las que diariamente pasan por delante de nuestros sentidos y no nos damos cuenta pero que si lo hicieramos nos sonreiríamos por lo menos una ves al dia

Editorial Review:

Gathering and interpreting material that is not readily available elsewhere, this book discusses the thought of the Japanese Buddhist philosophers Dogen, Hisamatsu, and Nishitani. Stambaugh develops ideas about the self culminating in the concept of the Formless Self as formulated by Hisamatsu in his book The Fullness of Nothingness and the essay "The Characteristics of Oriental Nothingness," and further explicated by Nishitani in his book Religion and Nothingness. These works show that Oriental nothingness has nothing to do with the nineteenth- and twentieth-century Western concept of nihilism. Instead, it is a positive phenomenon, enabling things to be.
