Anybody know of any Japanese Heidegger/Kaczynski/Ellul type thinkers? Trying to persuade myself they're not bug people

you'd need to be fluent in japanese or chinese.

It isn't like being fluent would be good enough, most native English speakers can't understand Hume without extensive footnotes despite him being one of the easier philosophers to read for the uninitiated.

I said that Miyazakis work is situated on a Japanese Heidegerrian trajectory. Miyazaki’s take on
the modern technological condition and his way of thinking modernity is Heideggerian, while someone like say, Hideaki Anno's, is post-Heideggerian.

I'm pretty sure if Heidegger looked at the lifestyle of any old person in Japan he'd be proud.

A profoundly stupid statement.

Is he any good? His work looks gimmicky, I mean how many "x society" books on essentially the same topic can one pseud write?

>He translated Max Stirner's The Ego
stopped ready there

correct

of course its not sufficient but it is necessary. the books he seeks are not translated

there are many (most) foreign economists in jp/cn fundamentally that misunderstand their economy. the gulf is vast

typical ghoster

And which books are these?

how is Anno post Heideggerian?

むなしい 努力:アンソロジー

Look at his Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water series. Nadia's relation to
technology is idiosyncratic to the point of contradiction. On the one hand, she
poses as a nature girl: she loves animals, refuses to eat meat, disapproves of mechanical inventions, denounces ballistic technologies, and speaks against any form of violence. On the other hand, it turns out that she cannot live in nature,
as a nature girl. She simply wants technology to give her what she demands, but without any negative impact on the natural world. This seems very far from Heidegger’s ideas about gaining a free relation to technology. Indeed, because her love of nature entails a whimsical and inconsistent refusal of technologies, it looks like a variation on techno-scientific behavior. Recall that Heidegger and Miyazaki think of such behavior—both the acceptance and rejection of techno-scientific modernity—as self-defeating High Humanism, in which everything becomes measured and valued in terms of its impact on humans. Such a stance repeats and reinforces the logic of the standing reserve. The technological condition and salvation from it are paired face to face in a
state of perpetual oscillation. It is in this respect that the world of Nadia is post-
Heideggerian and post-Miyazakian. It could even be dubbed a post-modern technological condition. As a consequence of the enclosure of the modern condition, the postmodern condition is not a condition from which one can imagine salvation, even though, in Anno’s works, signs of spiritual and religious salvation become prevalent. Unlike the worlds of Heidegger or Miyazaki, such postmodern worlds do not imagine a macrostructural or macrohistorical outside or alternative (such as Nature, History, or myth). Simply put, you cannot be saved from the postmodern condition, you can only diagnose it, and the diagnosis promises a temporary tipping of techno-scientific behavior into a localized free relation that may afford a micro-politics. As such, for all its large-scale modern gestures toward saving the world, Nadia offers not an alternative to the modern technological condition but a diagnostics of the postmodern technological condition. It does not offer salvation but new ways of living.

thank you good sir

Honestly, while Stirner may be a total meme in an anglosphere suffering from modernity, he'd be just the ticket in Japan.

nah cunt. japan is doing fine. no european mental poison needed.

Oi Mishima m8, honour is a spook m8, bin your soduku plans

those classes are for faggots, anyone who thinks film or lit is a field of study and not a hobby for rich old gentleman is a massive fucking pseud who can't into philosophy or science or math. Which is most of this board and /tv/

>Veeky Forums - literature

must be over 18 to derail this thread

The Japanese are different from other Asians because of their island home and because of feudalism. The manor system within feudalism was one of the driving forces behind European greatness. Being on an island helped them keep most undesirable influences out and I'm sure other comparisons can be made to the British.

literature has almost no value for human intellectual progress, its a hobby, a passion, it contributes to Culture but that does little for our understanding of mind, reality or matter. Don't even try to act as if you reading Finnegan's Wake or Ubik has any bearing on whether or not you are more enlightened or informed about reality. Film is even worse

>Extreme suicide rate

Mishima killed himself out of perverse exhibitionism, not honor.

u wot, m8?

overly simplistic

the chinese had a system more similar to the british. they had escro and notary businesses for silver, decentralised governance, relatively free commerce, lack of militarism

they are corrupt largely because their form of internal resistance is to lie to foreign invaders nd to lie/kill collaborators

japan has a martial/feudal culture more similar to the germans than the anglos. they had not been subject to the perverse incentives of late iron age bureacracies

Nice bait, Finnegans Wake literally predicted the next 200 years of human history

u r right m8, much better to have your unelected state sponsoring terrorists that literally kill children on camera as propaganda

user, this is a Heidegger thread, you'd do well to read some, it's philosophy after all. Your big STEM brain will surely be able to grasp it.

The British suffered very few foreign invasions. The same can be said for the Japanese. The Chinese were invaded many times throughout their history and are not truly comparable to any European nation. The system that set Japan apart from other Asian nations is again, feudalism and likely their prohibition against the eating of dog meat.

Look at his Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water series. Nadia is post-Heideiggerian—not in the sense of coming after, breaking with, or overcoming the Heideggerian vision of modernity, but in the sense that Heideggerian modernity has become undeniable and irrevocable and thus indefensible, irredeemable. The irrevocable and irredeemable nature of the modern technological condition is reinforced by the transformation of humans into a standing reserve, and of humanity into a human picture: the whole of humanity, the human body and soul, is already subject to and available for instrumental manipulation, in the form of genetic engineering and brainwashing. After all, an alien species has produced the human species, and has manipulated its beliefs and histories. Once the human species can be thus isolated and manipulated, the threat of its annihilation looms large. Sloterdjik’s concept of the “human park” rings true here.

the british are the invaders in britain...

>dog meat epistemics
oh I see

The Japanese were invaders of Japan.

Someone into science or math wouldn't add philosophy, at least not anymore.
