The record lists Hajime Nakamura as Japanese philosopher (1912-1999).
Hajime Nakamura was born at Matsue in 1912. His recorded nationality is Japan. He studied at University of Tokyo.
Around the turn of the twentieth century philosophy split into traditions that largely stopped reading one another.

Philosophical influence is measured in the questions a thinker made unavoidable.
The honours record reads: Order of Culture (1977), Medal with Purple Ribbon (1974), Imperial Prize of Japan Academy (1957) and Medals of Honor.
That the work was done from Japan matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Hajime Nakamura died in 1999, aged 87. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
