Ontology of Production presents three essays by the influential
Japanese philosopher Nishida Kitaro (1870-1945), translated for the
first time into English by William Haver. While previous
translations of his writings have framed Nishida within Asian or
Oriental philosophical traditions, Haver's introduction and
approach to the texts rightly situate the work within Nishida's own
commitment to Western philosophy. In particular, Haver focuses on
Nishida's sustained and rigorous engagement with Marx's conception
of production. Agreeing with Marx that ontology is production and
production is ontology, Nishida in these three essays-"Expressive
Activity" (1925), "The Standpoint of Active Intuition" (1935), and
"Human Being" (1938)-addresses sense and reason, language and
thought, intuition and appropriation, ultimately arguing that in
this concept of production, ideality and materiality are neither
mutually exclusive nor oppositional but, rather, coimmanent.
Nishida's forceful articulation of the radical nature of Marx's
theory of production is, Haver contends, particularly timely in
today's speculation-driven global economy. Nishida's reading of
Marx, which points to the inseparability of immaterial intellectual
labor and material manual labor, provokes a reconsideration of
Marxism's utility for making sense of-and resisting-the logic of
contemporary capitalism.
