A Problematic Study of Japanese Philosophy in Thailand

Abstract

Recently, Japanese philosophy is a subject that is broadly studied in Thailand. However, the scope of understanding in Thailand has been ambiguous for a long time and it confuses many of Thai people who are interested in Japanese philosophy as well as distracting them to study about Japan in other perspectives such as in histories, civilizations, and society. This article aims to provide an argument on the modern Japanese philosopher in order to clarify the scope of understanding that leads to a distinguish between what Japanese philosophy is and what generally description about Japan is.
