Nishida Kitaro, Japan's premier modern philosopher, was born in
1870 and grew to intellectual maturity in the final decades of the
Meiji period (1868-1912). He achieved recognition as Japan's
leading establishment philosopher during his tenure as professor of
philosophy at Kyoto University. After his retirement in 1927, and
until his death in 1945, Nishida published a continuous stream of
original essays that can best be described as intercivilizational,
a meeting point of East and West. His final essay, ""The Logic of
the Place of Nothingness and the Religious Worldview,"" completed
in the last few months before his death, is a summation of his
philosophy of religion and has come to be regarded as the
foundational text of the Kyoto school. It is one of the few places
in his writings where Nishida draws openly and freely on East Asian
Buddhist sources as analogs of his own ideas. Here Nishida argues
for the existential primordiality of the religious consciousness
against Kant, while also critically engaging the thought of such
authors as Aristotle, the Christian Neo-Platonists, Spinoza,
Fichte, Hegel, Barth, and Tillich. He makes it clear that he is
also indebted to Pascal, Kierkegaard, and Dostoievsky as well as to
Nagarjuna, the Ch'an masters, Shinran, Dogen, and other Buddhist
thinkers. This book--a translation of the most seminal work of
Nishida's career--also includes a translation of his ""Last
Writing"" (Zeppitsu), written just two days before his death.
