Much ado about nothingness: Essays on Nishida and Tanabe

By James W. Heisig

(c) Chisokudō Publications, 2015
Much Ado About Nothingness brings together 14 essays on Nishida Kitaro and Tanabe Hajime by one of the leading scholars of twentieth-century Japanese philosophy.With Nishida's "logic of place" and Tanabe's "logic of the specific" providing a continuity to the whole, the author writes from a conviction that "the overriding challenge for those doing philosophy in the key of the Kyoto School, with their sights set squarely on self-awareness like Nishida and Tanabe before them, is to turn its attention to the wider world and sharpen its conscience without simply giving in to the growing pressures to police the awareness of others."
