No I havent, I'll read that right now if I can find that.

Also I should have said, the obvious answer to your question was Japanese authors, but I havent read that many because I am suspicious of the translations. I read Dazai's No Longer Human and utterly hated it, and wondered if anything had been lost in translation that could redeem it. I should really focus on reading Japanese literature though, I'm sure it is there if no where else.

And as far as translating it to America (where I am also from) it shouldnt be too hard. People in the west have been thinking of time and mortality in similar ways, the feeling of nostalgia probably being the biggest one, it just isnt emphasized as this constant perspective and feeling like mono no aware is, and obviously nostalgia is focused on longing for the past whereas mono no aware is more about impermanence in general

Oh I see. Where is this phrase from?

This is good, still, not that specific.

/lit/, I've been interested in philosophy for years now and have branched out to mathematics, linguistics, and grammar all for the sake of better understanding the tools and processes of "philosophizing", for lack of a better term, logic. That is what I care about, but I've only come to realize this very specific interest recently.

Is this the right route to go? Will this help at all? Is there already something to study in philosophy that deals with this?

Guessing you didn't really care for that whole trickery.

I was expecting something like this so it wasn't new but it is I think his best metafiction from what I've read.
