Research
My main research interests revolve around questions of philosophy in Modern Japan, with a particular focus on issues in the history of political and ethical thought. I am not only interested in utilising these fields as tools for the understanding of Modern Japan itself, but I am also interested in the ways in which Japanese intellectual traditions can intersect, engage and enter into dialogue with Euro-American traditions of thought. In practice, this means that I attempt to locate my work simultaneously within both Asian Studies discourses and within more mainstream ‘disciplinary’ fields. The ultimate goal, of course, must be the convergence of these types of study, in order to confront the spectre of ethnocentricity. Recently, I have started to focus on conceptions of violence and penitence in Modern Japanese thought.
