Description

Takeuchi Yoshimi: Displacing the West explores the writings of a postwar Japanese thinker and sinologist. This work presents an in-depth examination of Takeuchi's thought, tracing out the problematics he engaged with throughout his career. The author examines Takeuchi's notions of modernity, subjectivity, and alterity, highlighting the notion of "resistance" that is central to his philosophy. A key aspect of this resistance is its connection to the idea of conceptual knowledge being impossible, leading to a shift in emphasis from activity to passivity. By presenting both the possibilities and limitations of Takeuchi's thought, this work aims to provide a nuanced understanding of his intellectual legacy.
