Hello i am wondering if kyoto has any books of good philosophy that
you can reccomend, comparable to what china or germany has produced.


the reason i say "kyoto" instead of "japan" because kyoto is
considered the cultural elite while the rest of japan just apes french
and americans and i dont wanna read philosophy that is just a copy of
french or american philosophy.


I would also like it to pre-date the meiji era for the same reasons.


Does anyone here read japanese philosophy?
