Yoshimitsu Yoshihiko

Philosopher. Born in Kagoshima Prefecture. After graduating from the First Higher School and the Department of Ethics at the Faculty of Letters of Tokyo Imperial University, he studied in France, where he was taught by Jacques Maritain. After returning to Japan, he taught philosophy at Sophia University and Tokyo Kokyo Theological Seminary, and also served as a lecturer at his alma mater. During his student years, he was influenced by Father Soichi Iwashita and converted from Protestantism to Catholicism. He became a representative figure in the Catholic intellectual world, and left behind many works. He recognized the "philosophy of eternity" in the synthesis of Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas, preached Christian humanism, and criticized modern and contemporary thought.
