Examining the messages of his 10 full-length films--from \u003ci\u003eNausicaa\u003c\/i\u003e (1984) to \u003ci\u003eThe Wind Rises\u003c\/i\u003e (2013)--this study analyzes each for its religious, philosophical and ethical implications. Miyazaki's work addresses a coherent set of human concerns, including adolescence, good and evil, our relationship to the past, our place in the natural order, and the problems of living in a complex and ambiguous world. Exhibiting religious influences without religious endorsement, his films urge nonjudgment and perseverance in everyday life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEric Reinders\u003c\/b\u003e is an associate professor of East Asian religions at Emory University, Atlanta.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 228\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 28, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47433031581874,"sku":"9781476664521","price":35.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/8ec327357e2eb13cb174d2e1672ca836.webp?v=1778613043","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/the-moral-narratives-of-hayao-miyazaki-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
