    Dificultades, aciertos y desaciertos en la asunción del concepto de “estética” en Japón
    (Servicio de Publicaciones. Universidad de Murcia, 2025) Romero Leo, Jaime; Sin departamento asociado
    The purpose of the current paper is to establish the social and intellectual context in which the concept of “aesthetics” [bigaku] was translated, in modern Japan (1868-1912) (understood as a field of philosophy in Europe). This was the first time in history that a non-Western nation made such an assimilation effort. The concept was taken from Western tradition alongside other complex terms like “Philosophy” [tetsugaku] or “Fine Arts” [bijutsu]. This is evidence of how Japan tried to understand and apply several intellectual schemes from the Western nations it tried to be on a pair with. To carry out the analysis, several elements from East Asian culture will be addressed. Elements which Japanese intellectuals of modern Japan, for example Fukuzawa Yukichi, considered should be overcome in order to fully embrace the westernization of Japan. Additionally, it will be shown how difficult the proper apprehension of the concept of "aesthetics" was, since it belonged to such a foreign tradition like the European one.
