Absolute Critique in Tanabe Hajime’s "Philosophy as Metanoetics:

Japanese Philosophy Workshop ‪@edinburghphilosophy‬
Speaker: Gregory Moss (‪@CUHKchannel‬)

In “Absolute Critique in #Tanabe Hajime’s Philosophy as #Metanoetics” Gregory Moss (Chinese University of Hong Kong) will explain the concept of absolute critique in the second chapter of Tanabe’s Philosophy as Metanoetics, “Absolute Critique: The Logic of Metanoetics.” On the one hand, he shows how Tanabe’s concept of absolute critique works as a systematic and rational development of #Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason. On the other hand, he shows how Tanabe attempts to transcend Kant’s critique by simultaneously affirming a trans-rational faith in Other-Power as the principle by which the limit of rational inquiry is established.
