Between Two Worlds: Thinking Through Philosophy and Art

Between Two Worlds: Thinking Through Philosophy and Art

Tokyo, October 8, 2025 — What lies between philosophy and art? In this talk, University of Tokyo Associate Professor Futoshi Hoshino explores aesthetics as a “living practice” that bridges theory and creation. Reflecting on his own path through music, photography, and philosophy, Hoshino shows how being “in between” can open new ways of seeing, thinking, and engaging with the world. Tsutomu Horiuchi, co-chair of the arts and culture committee at Asia Society Japan, hosts the program. (49 min., 36 sec.)
