This is a course on religious and philosophical aesthetics in two specific places: Japan and New England, mostly Massachusetts. The question: how do we see the world? How should we see the world? This question of seeing also becomes the question of inhabitinghow do we dwell in relation to the world? Is it really something separate from us? Figures to be studied include Ralph Waldo Emerson, Sato Haruo, Henry David Thoreau, Motoori Norinaga, Emily Dickinson, Nishida Kitaro, Robert Frost, Hayao Miyazaki, and Porsha Olayiwola. The course will cover poetry, film, and travelogue, as well as essays.
