Product Information
Murasaki Shikibu's The Tale of Genji is variously read as a work of feminist protest, the world's first psychological novel and even as a post-modern masterpiece. Commonly seen as Japan's greatest literary work, its literary, cultural, and historical significance has been thoroughly acknowledged. As a work focused on the complexities of Japanese court life in the Heian period, however, the The Tale of Genji has never before been the subject of philosophical investigation. The essays in this volume address this oversight, arguing that the work contains much that lends itself to philosophical analysis. The authors of this volume demonstrate that The Tale of Genji confronts universal themes such as the nature and exercise of political power, freedom, individual autonomy and agency, renunciation, gender, and self-expression; it raises deep concerns about aesthetics and the role of art, causality, the relation of man to nature, memory, and death itself. Although Murasaki Shikibu may not express these themes in the text as explicitly philosophical problems, the complex psychological tensions she describes and her observations about human conduct reveal an underlying framework of philosophical assumptions about the world of the novel that have implications for how we understand these concerns beyond the world of Genji. Each essay in this collection reveals a part of this framework, situating individual themes within larger philosophical and historical contexts. In doing so, the essays both challenge prevailing views of the novel and each other, offering a range of philosophical interpretations of the text and emphasizing the The Tale of Genji's place as a masterful work of literature with broad philosophical significance.

Reviews
This volume presents a kaleidoscope of perspectives on Genji monogatari. The degree of abstraction implicit in its mandated philosophical approach makes patterns more apparent in the text. The immense variety of those patterns and their interlocking quality are dazzling. As the lens shifts from "space" to "exteriority/interiority" to "gender," it is almost as though a different novel appears... the uniformly high level of literary quality in all the essaysmakes this work a pleasurable read. All in all, this work admirably fulfi lls its goal of providing a philosophical exploration of Genji monogatari., "This volume presents a kaleidoscope of perspectives on Genji monogatari.
