Produktbeschreibung

This book offers the first comprehensive collection of essays on the key concepts of Kitaro Nishida (1870-1945), the father of modern Japanese philosophy and founder of the Kyoto School. The essays analyze several of the major philosophical concepts in Nishida, including pure experience, absolute will, place, and acting intuition. They examine the meaning and positioning of Nishida's philosophy in the history of philosophy, as well as in the contemporary world, and discuss the relevance of his philosophy in the present context. The book next looks at the significance of Nishida's philosophy in the wider contexts of science, arts, and religion.

The book includes a glossary of key terms that have been translated in a unified manner throughout the volume.

Rezensionen

"This collection of essays has several virtues. ... This book finally closes a gap present in the secondary literature on Nishida in English by making accessible the interpretive work of Japanese scholars to a larger audience. On the other hand, the book sheds light on some little studied aspects of Nishida and some of his more complex concepts. At the same time, however, reading the book highlights some of the challenges of research to come." (Fernando Wirtz, Philosophy East and West, Vol. 73 (4), October, 2023)
