New Book from the 21st Century Public Policy Institute: NTT Chairman Jun Sawada and University of Tokyo’s Professor Takahiro Nakajima in Dialogue on Building a Diverse Society
The 21st Century Public Policy Institute has just released a new volume featuring a wide ranging dialogue between Jun Sawada—Vice Chair of Keidanren, the Japan Business Federation, Executive Chairman of NTT, and Co Chairperson of the Kyoto Institute of Philosophy—and Professor Takahiro Nakajima, Director of the Institute for Advanced Studies on Asia at the University of Tokyo.
Details
In “A Special Dialogue: Realising a Diverse Society Rooted in Japanese Sensibilities,” the two speakers share their visions of the society Japan should strive toward. They offer perspectives on the challenges currently facing Japanese industry and propose potential solutions—one from a business leader’s viewpoint, the other from that of a philosopher. Chariman Sawada also explains what led him to establish the Kyoto Institute of Philosophy and speaks about his aspirations for the inaugural Kyoto Conference, to be held in Kyoto on 23–24 September 2025.
The full text is available free of charge on the 21st Century Public Policy Institute website (link here). Professor Nakajima is also scheduled to take part in the Kyoto Conference.
