How do you go about syncretizing philosophies/religions?

That's an amazing quote, OP. Do you have any more?

Also, to your question, you should read widely in those traditions, not with the goal of synthesizing, but with the goal of understanding them on their own terms. Once you have understood a tradition on its own terms, you will be able to do something with it.

Unfortunately not, Tomofusa isn't really a sought after figure in the world of translation. I got this quote from a blog that was discussing Mishima: http://avery.morrow.name/blog/2013/03/kure-tomofusa-on-mishima-yukio-and-devotion/

Beyond that, there isn't a lot that can be found (in english) from Tomofusa on Mishima.
>Once you have understood a tradition on its own terms, you will be able to do something with it.
Alright, makes sense.

「共産主義と民主主義・人権思想は同根のものである」としており、その論理としては、「フランス革命、そしてそれに先立つ啓蒙思想に端を発」する、「具体的な『解放』の積み重ねがやがて全面的な『人間性の解放』となって歴史の彼方に実現する」という考え、「つまり『人間性解放の神話』」が、「東回りでロシヤに入って共産主義となり、西回りでアメリカに入って人権論となったわけです」としている[9]。

>communism and democracy are the logical endpoint of the liberation of human nature
I mean, I've considered the possibility that the Last Man is human nature, but I guess I'm not blackpilled enough to admit it. Gonna have to take Mish's side on this one
