Synopsis
At last, a clear and insightful look at the system of beliefs that is
the basis for the practice of Aikido. The Philosophy of Aikido is an
invaluable guide for practitioners-whether beginning or advanced-wishing to know more about the context in which Aikido was developed and Aikido's implications for the world today.
Some of the ideas discussed are:
Taoist mysticism, and Tantra
â¢points of correspondence between Aikido and Western philosophical and religious systems-Greek philosophy, Christianity, Kabbalah, alchemy, and modern scientific theories
â¢links between Aikido and art
â¢ways that Aikido thought can be used to advance the causes of such urgent issues as health and healing,
conflict resolution and environmental responsibility
