| Summary: | In his examination of the concepts of evil and impermanence, entitled "Evil and the Problem of Impermanence in Medieval Japanese Philosophy", Yujin Nagasawa addresses four responses to the problem of impermanence, arguing that the only satisfactory response to the problem leads to an implication about supernaturalism. As Nagasawa puts it, "the problem of impermanence can be construed as a partial argument for supernaturalism and against naturalism". In response to Nagasawa, I will take up the challenge of naturalism by trying to deconstruct the arguments against indifferentism in order to reformulate and thus strengthen Nagasawa's response to the problem of impermanence. I will then turn to the radicalization of this thesis by drawing out implications through a comparison with Dōgen's thought. |
