Abstract

In the 13th century, the Japanese Buddhist world underwent profound and radical changes. These changes also had a great impact on philosophy. Here we will give an overview of the life and work of four figures of this period who were key to the evolution of both Buddhism and philosophy in Japan. They are the four protagonists of what we might call the “Kamakura turn”: Hōnen, Shinran, Dōgen and Nichiren. The present text is based on the talk “The Kamakura Reformation,” given in May 2022 as part of the series "Conversations on Japanese Philosophy," organized by RHI, ALAFI and ENOJP.
