Yuasa Yasuo studied ethics under Watsuji Tetsuro at Tokyo University and developed a broad background in Western philosophy, psychoanalytic theory, Asian thought, and Japanese cultural history. His many books in Japanese span the range of these interests. Since the late 1970s, his work increasingly has focused on theories of the body in Asian and Western philosophy, religion, and medicine. His own theorizing has been toward discovering a model of mind-body function true to the insights of these varied traditions.
