This book collects texts of lectures and articles devoted to the philosophical and religious work of Daisaku Ikeda. On closer inspection, only when placed between philosophy of action (John H. Newman, Maurice Blondel, etc.) and pragmatism (José Ortega y Gasset, among others) does Ikeda's general conception seem to find its appropriate and acceptable speculative placement. Ikeda's work is expressive of a kind of philosophy of action. This tradition presents itself as a philosophy with a strong spiritualistic brand and an explicit religious reference. This is a conception that on the one hand ploughs through and broadly investigates the field of the spiritual, but on the other hand reads consciousness and interprets the human in the perspective key of the emancipative will and commitment. Therefore, the philosophy of action is translated into philosophical practice and practical, social, civic engagement.
