© Chisokudo Publications, 2020 This collection brings together a series of papers delivered at an international symposium on metanoetics held at Smith College, October 1989. The symposium was inspired by publication of the English translation of Tanabe Hajime's Philosophy as Metanoetics in 1986, which marked another milestone in the introduction of Japanese philosophy to the West. Nineteen representative scholars in the fields of philosophy and religion discuss the implications of metanoetics and other aspects of Tanabe's thought for our understanding of Shin Buddhism, Christianity, philosophy, and society. Among the wide variety of topics covered are the meaning of Shin Buddhism for the West, the encounter of Buddhism and Christianity, and the relation of religious philosophy to society. Also available as an Apple iBook.
James Heisig is an emeritus senior resarch fellow at the Nanzan Institute for Religion and Culture at Nagoya, Japan.
Taitetsu Unno (1929–2014) was Jill Ker Conway Professor of Religion and East Asian Studies at Smith College and director of the East Asian Studies Program.
