Ethics (Watsuji)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ethics (Japanese: Rinrigaku) is a book by Tetsuro Watsuji, the premier work of modern Japanese ethical theory; its three volumes were first published in 1937, 1942, and 1949 respectively. Watsuji develops a communitarian ethics in terms of the "betweenness" (aidagara) of persons based on the Japanese notion of self as ningen, whose two characters reveal the double structure of personhood as both individual and social.[1]
