From EditorWhile I was editing the latest issue as a bilingual version, I met some English speakers living in Japan and realized that such people are really interested in the philosophy situation in Japan. Knowing the philosophy situation in a country might be the fastest way to understand the culture itself, because it reflects various dispositions of thinking, such as on life, occupation, or education.
In order to promote such a situation in Japanese philosophy, we’ve started this new website including Philosophy Radio, Articles from back numbers, Editor’s Blog, and Philosophy Café. I am going to post on some topics such as untold stories behind editing Japanese Enjoyable Philosophy, back stories about interviews with philosophers, and Japanese philosophical news. I would like to post these topics in both English and Japanese for as long as I can.
For the English posts, I will upload each blog articles after it is proofread by Dr. Kevin Lynch, who is a young Irish philosopher living in Dublin. I hope you can enjoy Reading articles, Listing philosophy radio, and Going philosophy café!
