{{nihongo|'''Tomonubu Imamichi'''|今道 友信|Imamichi Tomonobu|extra=born [[Tokyo]],}} (also '''Tomon''o''bu Imamichi''') (November 19, 1922, [[Tokyo]] – October 13, 2012}} was a [[Japanese philosopher]] who studied [[Chinese philosophy]].<ref name="Mainichi">{{cite news|url=http://mainichi.jp/select/news/20121017k0000m060019000c.html|title=訃報:今道友信さん８９歳＝東大名誉教授エコエティカ提唱|date=16 October 2012|publisher=[[Mainichi Shimbun]]|language=[[Japanese language|Japanese]]|accessdate=17 October 2012}}</ref> He 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 is a supporter of [[transculturation|communication between cultures]]. He has characterized [[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.
