Tetsuzō Tanikawa is remembered for arguments the next generation could not ignore.
The record lists Tetsuzō Tanikawa as Philosopher who promoted World Government for peace (1895-1989).
Tetsuzō Tanikawa was born at Tokoname in 1895. His recorded nationality is Japan. He studied at Aichi Prefectural Zuiryo Senior High School and First Higher School.
Around the turn of the twentieth century philosophy split into traditions that largely stopped reading one another.
His academic posts were held at Doshisha University.
A philosophical position survives not by being proved but by resisting every attempt to dispose of it.
That the work was done from Japan matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Tetsuzō Tanikawa died in 1989, aged 94. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
