Japanese philosophy

Japanese philosophy

Japanese Philosophy has historically been a fusion of both foreign and indigenous Japanese elements (such as Shinto). [ [http://www.rep.routledge.com/article/G100/ Japanese philosophy : Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy Online ] ] Formerly heavily influenced by both Chinese philosophy and Indian philosophy, as with Mitogaku and Zen, much modern Japanese philosophy is now also influenced by Western Philosophy (see Kyoto School).
