==Life==
Imamichi taught in Europe (Paris and Germany) as well as in Japan (he was also emeritus professor of the [[University of Palermo]]). Beginning in 1979 he was the president of the ''[[Centre International pour l'Étude Comparée de Philosophie et d'Esthétique]]'' and after 1997 of the [[International Institute of Philosophy]]. In 1976 he founded the journal ''Aesthetics''.
 
He translated [[Aristotle]]'s ''[[Poetics (Aristotle)|Poetics]]'' into Japanese (in 1972) and has written numerous books in Japanese. Imamichi iswas a supporter of [[transculturation|communication between cultures]]. He has characterizedcharacterizes [[Western philosophy]] as an attempt to achieve a God's eye view (''das in-dem-Gott-sein''; to be in the being of God) and [[Eastern philosophy]] as an attempt to be in the world (''das in-der-Welt-sein''). Imamichi sees in both stances two incomplete and complementary [[humanism]]s, and observes that since the publication of ''[[The Book of Tea]]'', some Western philosophers have adopted a more Eastern stance while other Eastern philosophers have attempted to reach the Absolute or the Eternal.
 
Tomonobu Imamichi was the father of Japanese guitarist and songwriter, [[Tomotaka Imamichi]], pianist Nobuko Kawaguchi, biologist Yukiko Imamichi and psychologist Tomoaki Imamichi.
