This book presents two essays by Nishida Kitaro, translated into
English for the first time by John Krummel and Shigenori Nagatomo.
Nishida is widely regarded as one of the father figures of modern
Japanese philosophy and as the founder of the first distinctly
Japanese school of philosophy, the Kyoto school, known for its
synthesis of western philosophy, Christian theology, and Buddhist
thought. The two essays included here are ''Basho'' from 1926/27
and ''Logic and Life'' from 1936/37. Each essay is divided into
several sections and each section is preceded by a synopsis added
by the translators. The first essay represents the first systematic
articulation of Nishida's philosophy of basho, literally meaning
''place, '' a system of thought that came to be known as ''Nishida
philosophy.'' In the second essay, Nishida inquires after the
pre-logical origin of what we call logic, which he suggests is to
be found within the dialectical unfoldings of world-history and
human society. A substantial introduction by John Krummel considers
the significance of Nishida as a thinker, discusses the key
components of Nishida's philosophy as a whole and its development
throughout his life, and contextualizes the translated essays
within his oeuvre. The Introduction also places Nishida and his
work within the historical context of his time, and highlights the
relevance of his ideas to the global circumstances of our day. The
publication of these two essays by Nishida, a major figure in world
philosophy and the most important philosopher of twentieth-century
Japan, will be of significant value to the fields not only of Asian
philosophy and East-West comparative philosophy but also of
philosophy in general as well as of theology and religious studies
