Watsuji Tetsuro's Rinrigaku by Watsuji Tetsuro

"Watsuji Tetsuro's Rinrigaku" explores the intricate nature of ethics from a distinctly Japanese perspective, emphasizing the interconnectedness of individual and social morality. The book delves into the concept of 'betweenness' as a fundamental structure of human existence, arguing that ethical relations are inherently tied to the spatial and temporal contexts within which individuals live. This work critically examines Western ethical theories, proposing a communal and geographical approach to understanding human relations, and offers a comprehensive framework for considering moral decisions within the collective fabric of society.
