James enthusiasm for the ideas that come to him is a thrill. My favorite was this one at 9.20, about culture as a weapon, and disarming the aggressive parts of culture: “Every culture, in addition to enhancing the life of its people, and in addition to having something to offer to the culture of its neighbors, and the rest of the world, every culture has its own unique way of oppressing its own people,and of inflicting its ideas and its problems onto other cultures.”
I agree. Just a complement that may be interesting: this moment in the interview is directly related to a question I asked Jim in his keynote the day before, if he understood his academic performance as an example of cultural disarmament. It is worth watching the answer, masterfully referring again to Gustavo Gutiérrez. On the subject, it is worth consulting the book: "Cultural Disarmament - The Way to Peace" from Raimon Pannikar (original: Paz y Desarme Cultural. Cantabria: Sal Terrae, 1993). Jim was inspired by his ideas when using this term. th-cam.com/video/5gcKiagUFFI/w-d-xo.html
Indeed. Japan tried desperately to imitate and modernize as quickly as possible in a Western way. But, it is complicated to say that the development of "their" philosophy was in an isolated period. isolated from who and what? How much of "their" philosophy does not come from China? Centuries of cultural exchange. To discuss this we need to discuss too what philosophy is or could be. I believe that philosophy only ermerges in the context of cultural exchanges and the belief in a national philosophy is only a nationalist narrative made later in search of a national identity and in detriment of the plurality of cultures.
Japanese is much more universal than Western one, because it is fundamentally holistic, whereas Western tradition is fundamentally individualistic, until Heidegger changes all.

Actually Japan was also a colonial power for some time. But the development of their philosophy was in a time when Japan was still isolated.

James seems like a cool guy

Japan DIDN'T colonize... ?
Ugh.
