The Izutsu Library Series on Oriental Philosophy aims at providing conceptual “space” to construct an Oriental philosophy and at contributing to the development of thought in the twenty-first century. This series, a long-term project, will publish translations into Western languages such as English, French, and German, with the expectation that the translations will themselves naturally and necessarily open up a functional semantic field in which the Orient encounters the Occident, and the traditional the existential present.
