A landmark comparative study, this volume analyzes the characteristic thought patterns of four Asian peoples--the Indians, the Chinese, the Japanese, and the Tibetans--as these are revealed in their language, their logic, and their cultural products. Hajime Nakamura focuses particularly on the impact of Buddhism, seeking to clarify the ways in which Buddhism and Indian logic were introduced from India into China, Japan, and Tibet, and how this universal religion and logic has become modifed according to the native characteristics of each people.

The history of the Vedanta school is well-known since the time of Sankaracarya on, but its prehistory before Sankara is obscure. During the period, there appeared many philosophers and dogmaticians, but their thoughts were not clearly known. The book is an attempt to clear the details of the pre-Sankara Vedanta philosophy, utilizing Sanskrit materials, and Pali, Prakrit (Jain), as well as Tibetan and Chinese sources.

This work presents a survey of Indian Buddhism with detailed bibliographical notes. The main text constitutes a general survey of the development of Indian Buddhism, and studies by scholars past and present are mentioned in full detail in copious footnotes with due evolutions. This work can be regarded, so to speak, as a development with revisions, of the Buddhist portion of M. Winternitz’s History of Indian Literature. Major studies before and after Winternitz’s work are exhaustively mentioned.

Nakamura argues with remarkable erudition that particular intellectual and social developments can be traced in all great cultures; that each culture deals with its problems in about the same order. Discussing ideads from India, China, Japan and Europe, the author considers such inclusive notions as the concept of God, the controversy over universals and the nature of orthodoxy and heterodoxy. This is a lucid and rewarding book which sets a new standard for dealing with a history of thought across many cultures.

Nearly 60 years have passed since the publication of A History of Early Vedanta Philosophy in Japanese. Meanwhile, new research has been reported in such fields as Bhartrhari and the like. Nevertheless, none can take the place of the authors achievement in the field of pre-Sankara Vedanta. This Part Two is a complete English translation of Vols. III and IV of the Japanese version, with many additions and revisions done by the author himself.

This book provides a wide view of the calculus of variations as it plays an essential role in various areas of mathematics and science. Containing many examples, open problems, and exercises with complete solutions, the book would be suitable as a text for graduate courses in differential geometry, partial differential equations, and variational methods. The first part of the book is devoted to explaining the notion of (infinite-dimensional) manifolds and contains many examples. An introduction to Morse theory of Banach manifolds is provided, along with a proof of the existence of minimizing f

A milestone in Japan’s post-war philosophical thought and a dramatic turning point in Tanabe’s own philosophy, Philosophy as Metanoetics calls for nothing less than a complete and radical rethinking of the philosophical task itself. It is a powerful, original work, showing vast erudition in all areas of both Eastern and Western thought.
