Kojin Karatani is a prominent Japanese philosopher, literary critic, and cultural theorist known for his interdisciplinary approach that combines elements of philosophy, literature, history, and economics. Born in 1941, Karatani has made significant contributions to contemporary thought, particularly in his exploration of the relationships between different cultural and social constructs. Karatani is perhaps best known for his concept of "the world of the text," where he examines how literary and cultural texts intersect with other social practices.
