The main purpose of this book is to offer to philosophers and
students abroad who show a great interest in Japanese philosophy
and the philosophy of the Kyoto school major texts of the leading
philosophers. This interest has surely developed out of a desire to
obtain from the thought of these philosophers, who stood within the
interstice between East and West, a clue to reassessing the issues
of philosophy from the ground up or to drawing new creative
possibilities.The present condition seems to be, however, that the
material made available to further realize this kind of
intellectual dialogue is far too scarce. This book is intended to
be of some help in this regard.The book presents selected texts of
representative philosophers of the Kyoto school such as Nishida
Kitaro, Tanabe Hajime, Miki Kiyoshi, Nishitani Keiji, and others
who best illustrate the characteristics of this school, and works
that together portray its image as a whole. Those who are
interested in Japanese philosophy or specifically the philosophy of
the Kyoto School can survey a comprehensive representation from
this book.These texts are, of course, quite difficult and cannot be
well understood without sufficient preliminary knowledge.
Expository essays have therefore been included after each text to
provide guidance. In each of these commentaries a scholar of our
time with deep understanding of the philosopher in question has
provided an account of his life, intellectual journey, and the
significance of the text included here.From this book will emerge a
new dialogue of ideas that in turn will engender new developments
in philosophy, thereby further expanding the network of
philosophical thought worldwide.
