Suggested Japanese philosophy books

Postby Pencilslave » Fri Mar 03, 2006 6:39 pm

I'm currently on a mild philosophy kick and have been reading the "Dummies" and "Idiot's" Guides. Can you folks suggest any good books on Japanese philosophy and by Japanese philosophers that have been translated into English?

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming...
